NOBLE FANS

On 12/1 (Conghua turf trial 1000m: 6-6-4), the horse jumped slowly, eased forward with light urging and settled into a steady pace. On 15/12 (Conghua turf trial 800m: 1-1-3) he broke very quickly and took the lead at a good speed. In April, over the same distance in its last run, it underperformed, missing the break and settling towards the rear with an even tempo but no finishing kick. After a long spell, two trials have been completed to a satisfactory standard. This race benefits from a 2lb weight reduction, favorable timing against competitors and looks well-positioned. Worth considering for a wager.
