Three weeks ago, this horse ran a respectable race over a Happy Valley sprint, with a slow jump but a strong finishing run after settling towards the rear. Another trial at Happy Valley over 1200m sees him carrying an additional one pound this time. He has four wins from twelve starts in this distance category and comparable times to rivals; he is capable of tracking the pace-setters, and can potentially lead. Drawing a good barrier provides a favourable setup. The jockey change to Alexis Badel suggests a better rider/horse combination. Morning trackwork indicates improvement, even if his finishing kick is a concern with his previous trainer. A clean jump and an intent to track the leaders should see him perform well.
