GLORY CLOUD

Six weeks ago, this horse performed poorly over the same distance, jumping slowly and settling at the rear. He maintained a steady pace throughout but lacked any significant momentum or racing spark. Having run in a lower class last time, he now carries an 18lb penalty. With no prominent finishing kick, a lack of synergy between trainer and jockey, and an unfavorable situation, despite his course record and decent time, he is not considered a strong selection for this race.
