Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was unsatisfactory; a slow jump led to settling towards the rear. A strong late run in the final two sections saw him finish fourth, beaten only by two lengths and demonstrating good ability. This time with a one-pound weight reduction, despite having form over this course and competitive sectionals within the group, drawing a reasonable barrier and a stable trainer-jockey relationship, they are preparing for a challenge. However, he will likely need to settle towards the rear again, but his finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals, making the current situation less favorable; best suited as a supporting runner.
