HAPPY BOYS

Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump and settling towards the rear. It showed a strong finishing move to secure third place, beaten by two and a half lengths. This time it carries only a one-pound penalty, with favorable timing in the group. The tactics remain to hold back and rely on a powerful finishing kick – considered the strongest in its class. Zac Purton takes the ride, having some prior knowledge of the horse's capabilities. The trainer and jockey maintain mutual trust; however, despite drawing an unfavorable barrier, the situation isn’t entirely disadvantageous and it has potential to showcase its true ability.
