Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump, settling towards the rear. It showed a strong finishing burst to take third place, beaten by half a length. This time, it carries only a two-pound weight increase and has shown reasonable form over this trip; its times are comparable with other contenders. It’s expected to track the leaders or even challenge for an early lead. The barrier draw is favorable and overall, it possesses a stronger profile than many of its rivals. The jockey has some understanding of the horse's capabilities, and trainer-jockey relationship remains solid, making it a contender to watch.
