On August 27th (dirt trial 1200m: 8-8-5), the horse showed good acceleration. On June 26th (dirt trial 1200m: 6-7-7), it settled calmly and was aimed at testing the barrier jump. This is its seasonal debut, having undergone two satisfactory trials. Following this, a Happy Valley mile trial run. This race benefits from a 2lb weight reduction, with previous form over this distance being respectable and comparable times to rivals. Drawing a good barrier suggests a potential hold-up strategy, though finishing speed may not be as strong as some opponents; considered an outside chance.
