The last-run winner performed exceptionally well in the same race three weeks ago, maintaining a good position close to the leaders with an average cruising speed throughout before making some ground in the closing stages to win. This horse has proven its ability and possesses the best sectional times among its group, rating as one of the strongest in this race by scoring. The jockey and trainer combination appears to be working well, however, the horse faces an extra six pounds in this race, and its current form doesn't suggest an advantageous setup or outstanding finishing kick; it remains a key contender nonetheless.
