This gelding recently posted a promising dirt trial performance on {13/3}, covering 1200m in times of (7-9-5), moving off the rail on the turn and finishing with good momentum. His last outing saw him compete over a mile on dirt, where a slow start left him trailing early. He finished seventh, beaten three and a half lengths, displaying a strong late run – suggesting improvement. A subsequent turf trial at 1800m was satisfactory. This time around, the horse receives a three-pound weight relief and recorded comparable times in his latest barrier trial. Connections are optimistic about his chances; he appears to be one of the stronger contenders in this field, benefiting from a solid trainer/jockey partnership and could represent some value at each way odds.
