On June 26th, recorded a dirt trial over 1050m in sections of 4-3-4, showing improvement after adjustments. Five weeks ago, over the same distance, the performance was disappointing with a slow jump and settling towards the rear. Maintained a steady pace throughout but lacked a finishing kick, finishing eighth beaten three and a half lengths. A subsequent barrier trial showed moderate form. This race benefits from a 2lb weight reduction, comparable times within its group, and an advantageous inside draw. Zac Purton takes the ride; horse, jockey and trainer appear well-suited to each other, suggesting potential for improved performance.
