Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably. A slow jump saw it settle towards the rear, but it showed a strong late run to finish second, beaten by half a length – a narrow defeat demonstrating good ability. This time, only carrying an additional two pounds, it boasts the best time in its group and has drawn a favorable barrier. The plan is again to settle back and rely on a finishing kick, which appears promising given current form. A strong contender in this race, with a solid trainer-jockey partnership, looks capable of turning the tables.
