Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump, settling towards the rear. It showed a strong late run and was beaten three and a half lengths, finishing seventh. This time it will carry one pound more weight. Although having secured three wins at this distance previously with comparable times to its rivals, drawing a good barrier positions it favorably. Compared to other contenders, it possesses a stronger overall ability. The jockey knows the horse’s temperament well and is preparing meticulously, but a hold-up tactics are expected which may not be sufficient against quicker finishers; trainer-jockey communication isn't ideal, hoping for a close finish.
