Fourteen days ago, this horse ran poorly over a Happy Valley mile, settling in a good position tracking the leaders with an even pace throughout but showing unremarkable progress. He finished beaten by half a length and demonstrated reasonable ability. Switching to dirt over a mile now for his first attempt at this distance, he will carry one pound more this time, which is a slight disadvantage. The barrier draw is unfavourable and there’s little evidence of a strong trainer-jockey partnership. However, the horse is expected to be held up in the run, boasts good finishing kick within the field, and the distance should suit; worth considering.
