Two weeks ago, this horse ran a Happy Valley mile, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a strong surge. He finished sixth, beaten two and a half lengths. Now stepping up to an 1800m race at Happy Valley for the first time, he benefits from a two-pound weight reduction despite the distance potentially not suiting him, and has drawn a poor barrier. However, he possesses the stamina to track the pace setters and maintain a strong finishing kick amongst his peers; currently showing rapidly improving form, a clean break and willingness to pursue the lead should see him contend for a top position.
