Three weeks ago, over this same distance, the horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the rear. It showed a strong late run to finish fourth, beaten two and a half lengths. This time it will carry one pound more in weight, with a reasonable time for its group and a favorable barrier draw. The plan is again to settle towards the rear, relying on a powerful finishing kick which appears to be the strongest in the field; expected to improve on its last performance.
