Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear before showing a strong late run. This time it benefits from a one-pound weight reduction; having previously won three times at this course and distance, and with comparable times to rivals, the tactics will again be to settle back in the field relying on a powerful finishing kick which is expected to be the strongest in the race. The horse appears well-positioned and the jockey is gaining an understanding of its capabilities. Preparations have been thorough and it looks capable of performing."
