On August 27th (dirt trial 1200m: 5-4-6), the horse showed an average response under pressure in the final section. Returning from a long break, this is his seasonal debut following one barrier trial which didn’t reveal much promise. He has a three-pound weight reduction for this race but drew an unfavorable outside barrier and trainer-jockey combination isn't ideal. Although capable of settling in a good position tracking the leaders, he possesses strong finishing kick amongst his group. Richard Kingscote takes the ride, familiar with the horse’s temperament, though opportunities appear limited.
