Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse ran exceptionally well, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before making a strong run in the final two sections with fast times to finish third, beaten by half a length. He's entered for this race with a one-pound weight reduction and has proven form at this distance; the pace of other horses in this group isn’t too dissimilar. The horse is in good shape and possesses a clear strength advantage over many rivals, and trainer/jockey combination appear to be in sync, suggesting a strong chance of success.
