SETANTA

Six weeks ago, this horse performed excellently in a similar race. While he didn't jump out quickly and settled towards the rear, his pace was consistent throughout; he made up significant ground in the final stages to finish as a runner-up, beaten only by two and a half lengths. He is of high standard. This time he carries one pound less, having won two races over this distance and recording the best sectional times in his class. If he adopts a stalking running style, his closing momentum is superior in the field. Overall assessment places him among the top contenders, with a cohesive strategy between horse, jockey, and trainer. He is seriously prepared and has the potential to win.
