On September 27th, this horse completed a comfortable turf trial over 1000m at Happy Valley, settling in midfield and running relaxed. On August 30th, a turf trial over 1000m saw him slightly urged at the 200m mark but displaying good action. This is his seasonal debut after two satisfactory barrier trials. He will carry an additional nine pounds this time out, having shown previous form over this distance and recording the fastest time amongst its group. Drawn favorably in an inside barrier, he's expected to be held up for a late run, possessing the strongest finishing kick in the field. The horse’s current form and draw suggest it is a strong contender in this race. Matthew Chadwick takes the ride, demonstrating some familiarity with the horse’s capabilities, and trainer-jockey combination appears solid, enhancing its chances of defending its title.
