Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. He finished strongly in the final two sections with good speed, finishing fourth beaten three and a half lengths; showing a high level of performance. This time carrying one pound less weight, facing favorable section times, and drawing a good barrier, trainer and jockey are aligned in their expectations. However, even if forced to settle towards the rear again, the finishing kick may not be strong enough against rivals, making it an unlikely winner.
