Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse delivered an excellent performance despite a slow start and settling towards the rear. He finished strongly in the final two sections with good speed to secure third place, beaten only by one length - demonstrating a high level of ability. This time he carries just a 2lb penalty, holds the best section times within the group, and draws an advantageous inside barrier. The plan is to settle towards the rear again, utilizing his strong finishing kick which is the strongest in the field. He enjoys favorable conditions and appears to be a genuine contender in this race. Horse, jockey, and trainer are well-matched, making him a serious threat to take the lead.
