On June 12th, recorded a dirt trial over 1200m in times of 3-2-3, settling third under pressure from the jockey. Seven weeks ago in a similar distance race, performance was lackluster; settled in a good position tracking the leaders with a steady pace but lacking a strong finish. He finished beaten three and a half lengths. A recent barrier trial showed slight improvement. This time allocated a 2lb weight reduction, requiring a hold-up tactics, however, his finishing kick is unlikely to match rivals and the form isn’t particularly encouraging. Despite drawing a favorable barrier and similar times within the group, chances appear limited.
