Four weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was good; a slow jump but settled back in the field, finishing strongly to take third place, beaten by half a length. This time with a four-pound weight reduction, favourable timing within its group, and expected to run from behind relying on a strong finishing kick – looking good overall. Compared to other horses, its ability is superior in this field. The jockey has some understanding of the horse’s capabilities, and there appears to be good communication between trainer and jockey; preparations have been thorough, suggesting it has a strong chance of reversing the form.
