WRITTEN CASA

Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably despite a slow start, settling towards the rear and finishing with a strong late run. This time, he benefits from a two-pound weight reduction, has proven form over this course, and is comparable to rivals in terms of speed figures. The tactics will be to settle back in the field, relying on a good finishing kick. Despite drawing a less favourable barrier, a forward showing isn’t ruled out.
