Four weeks ago, this horse ran satisfactorily over the same distance, with a slow start and settling towards the rear. It made progress in the middle stages, chasing the leaders but ultimately finishing three lengths behind in sixth place. This time it benefits from a three-pound weight reduction and is timed similarly to its last run; a hold-up tactic is expected, however, the finishing kick may not be strong enough to compete with rivals. Despite previous successes over this distance and an advantageous inside barrier draw, the horse's preparation doesn’t suggest any clear strategy.
