FLYING FORTRESS

Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the performance was good. The jump wasn’t quick, settling towards the rear of the field before making a strong late run to finish second, beaten by half a length. Showing high potential. This time with a one-pound weight reduction, despite having previous form over this course and distance, the timing is good and drawing a favorable barrier. Expecting a hold-up tactic with a strong finishing kick which should be competitive within the group. Compared to other contenders, it possesses a clear advantage in overall strength. Trainer and jockey have confidence in each other, showing improving condition, but the current situation isn’t ideal; hoping for a good run.
