HE WAS ME

Three weeks ago, this horse performed poorly in a Happy Valley mile race, taking the lead but tiring noticeably in the final stages. Switching to a Happy Valley 1200m this time as a first attempt at this distance, he benefits from a four-pound weight reduction. The trip is not ideal and the barrier draw isn’t particularly advantageous despite securing a good position. However, recent trackwork suggests improvement and appears well suited for racing."
