Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow jump, settling towards the rear. He maintained a steady pace and finished second after a strong late run, beaten by half a length. This time he carries only a one-pound weight increase, with comparable section times in the group, suggesting he can track the leaders. Capable of following the pace, showing good finishing kick, and with favorable trainer-jockey rapport. A clean break is key to securing a forward position.
