Seven days ago, over the same distance, this horse ran very well, jumping slowly and settling back in the field before finishing strongly in the final two sections to secure second place, beaten three lengths. Backing up quickly with a one-pound weight increase this time, despite having previously won three times at this distance, with good sectionals and an advantageous barrier draw, it possesses a competitive advantage over other runners. The trainer and jockey have a good rapport; however, the need to settle back may be a disadvantage due to a weaker finishing kick compared to rivals. Hoping for a place.
