On August 27th (dirt trial 1200m: 4-4-3), the horse was hampered at the 200m mark, shifted out to accelerate. This is its seasonal debut and has completed one barrier trial showing slight improvement. It will carry five pounds more this time in a race where it has four previous starts without success. The tactics are to settle towards the rear but finishing speed is unlikely to match rivals, presenting a disadvantageous situation. However, with comparable times within its group, it may still offer value at long odds.
