Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was unremarkable. A slow jump saw it settle towards the rear, with a mid-race effort but failing to close strongly. It finished seventh, beaten three and a half lengths. This time, it benefits from a four-pound weight reduction; however, it has failed to win in three previous attempts over this course and distance and is drawn an unfavorable outside barrier. Despite comparable times within the group, its prospects for this race appear limited.
