GRAND NOVAOn 4/7, recorded a dirt trial over 1050m in positions 4-4-2, maintaining a comfortable second position with a relaxed demeanor. Three weeks ago, the horse underperformed in a straight course race, slow out of the gate and settled towards the rear, but showed a strong late run. A recent barrier trial indicated slight improvement. Switching to Happy Valley over 1200m for its debut at this distance, it benefits from a three-pound weight reduction, appears suited by the trip, and draws a favorable barrier. Expecting a hold-up tactic with a finishing kick; overall shape is promising. Jockey Matthew Chadwick takes the reins, understanding the horse’s temperament, though trainer-jockey synergy is questionable, potentially leading to a trailing pace.
