Two weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse performed well, jumping slowly but settling back in the field before unleashing a strong late run to finish second, beaten by half a length. This time he carries only a three-pound penalty, having secured four wins from 22 starts at this trip, with competitive times recorded. He has drawn a good barrier and looks well positioned. He appears a leading contender in this race, showing good synergy between horse, jockey, and trainer; his current form is positive and suggests he could take the lead.
