Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed very well. He was slow to jump and settled towards the rear before finishing with a strong two-section pace to take second place, beaten only by half a length – demonstrating high potential. This race he benefits from a three-pound weight reduction, has proven form over this distance, and boasts the best time amongst his competition. He is capable of tracking the leaders and maintaining a good position; showing strong finishing kick within the group, and enjoys a favourable draw. Given the horse’s ability, he is undoubtedly a serious contender in this race. The jockey and trainer combination appears solid, and with a clean break, a forward run is expected.
