Last run winner, two weeks ago over the same distance, ran exceptionally well. Slow jump out, settled back in the field and finished strongly over the final two sections to win by two lengths. This time requires a 10lb weight increase; despite having performed well at this distance previously, its section times are good within the group. The horse holds a relatively strong advantage compared to other runners and has an advantageous draw. Jockey has some familiarity with the horse's capabilities, trainer-jockey relationship is positive and the horse is currently in excellent form. However, drawing an outside barrier necessitates a backmarker strategy, but its finishing kick may be inferior to rivals, relying on a late run for position.
