Two weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed well, jumping slowly and settling towards the back before unleashing a strong late run to finish third, losing by half a length. It showed a good level of form. This time, it carries only a one-pound increase in weight, has proven records at this distance, and appears to be timing well with its group. The tactics will likely involve holding it back and relying on a strong finishing kick. The trainer and jockey have a solid working relationship; despite drawing a poor barrier which isn't ideal, the horse may still have some tricks up its sleeve.
