Four weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over a Happy Valley staying distance, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear with a steady pace before making ground. In a subsequent turf trial over 1800m at Sha Tin, he benefits from a three-pound weight reduction but faces a disadvantageous barrier draw. The trainer-jockey combination is not ideal, although their times together haven't been significantly off; however, Antoine Hamelin takes the ride this time around and has some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, though isn’t considered a strong contender for this race.
