On 2/5, this horse recorded a fast-paced dirt trial over 1200m finishing fourth with a strong finish throughout the sections. Four weeks ago, in a similar distance race, he ran well, jumping slowly but settling towards the rear before showing a powerful late run to finish fourth, beaten by half a length. A recent barrier trial showed satisfactory performance. This time, no additional weight will be carried, and the timing of the group is good. The tactics will be to settle towards the rear, relying on a strong finishing kick which is considered a key strength within the group. He appears to have an advantageous position and possesses noticeable advantages in overall ability compared to other contenders. The jockey has some understanding of the horse's capabilities; however, there are concerns about the trainer-jockey compatibility, and connections appear determined.
