Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably. He jumped slowly and settled towards the rear, maintaining a steady pace but showing some late acceleration. He finished sixth, beaten three lengths. This time he benefits from a five-pound weight reduction and is expected to race from behind, however, his finishing kick may not be strong enough against rivals. While having shown form over this distance previously, times within the group are relatively close, and despite drawing a good barrier, opportunities appear limited.
