He finished eighth, beaten by one and a half lengths. This time benefiting from a one-pound weight reduction, he’s drawn well in a good time slot.

Karis Teetan takes the ride, gaining some familiarity with the horse's capabilities, reflecting trainer-jockey confidence and potentially holding valuable tactics.
