Four weeks ago over the same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the back before unleashing a strong late run to finish third, beaten three and a half lengths. Now stepping up in class, this time he carries only a 3lb increase in weight. With seven wins from twenty-five starts at this distance, his times are competitive within the field. The tactics will likely involve settling towards the back with an expected strong finishing kick, and appears to be in good form; the jockey is gaining understanding of the horse's capabilities and seems well prepared – a contender to watch.
