Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was very poor with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. A steady pace throughout but lacking any noticeable acceleration. This time, benefiting from a two-pound weight reduction, it faces similar competition and is expected to race from behind; finishing kick is its strongest suit. Hugh Bowman takes the ride, though he has limited knowledge of the horse’s capabilities. Despite potentially unfavorable conditions and a trainer/jockey mismatch, it's likely to be an outsider with a chance."
