Four weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse ran respectably. He was slow to jump, settling towards the rear, but made a strong effort in the middle stages, accelerating well through the second and final sections, chasing Lascar. He finished seventh, beaten three and a half lengths. This time he will carry four pounds more weight. Having secured two wins over this course and distance previously, with good times recorded against similar competition, the barrier draw is favorable. Considering his overall ability, he is relatively strong; however, even if he adopts a hold-up tactic again, his finishing kick may not be as potent as his rivals', making for an unfavorable situation, although he possesses some stamina.
