On March 14th, a Happy Valley turf trial over 1000m saw the horse maintain a steady pace throughout with an unremarkable performance. On February 28th, during a Conghua grass trial over 1000m, it led at a fast pace for the first two sections before weakening and dropping back. A Conghua grass trial over 800m on October 10th was completed with the fastest speed, resulting in an easy victory. Returning after a long break, this is its seasonal debut. Three barrier trials have been undertaken showing slight improvement. No additional weight will be carried in this race; it has previous form over this distance, favorable timing within its group, and drew a good barrier offering opportunities to lead. Trainer and jockey appear to be working well together; a clean jump and intention to take an early lead should see the horse perform competitively.
