Three weeks ago, this horse delivered a strong performance in a dirt mile, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before accelerating over the final two sections to secure third place, losing by half a length. Returning to Happy Valley for a turf mile, he faces a 3lb rise in weight. He has proven form over this distance, with comparable times to rivals, and is expected to race from behind, possessing the strongest finishing kick in the field. His current form and ability make him a strong contender in this race; trainer and jockey have a good rapport, and he's well-prepared to challenge for the lead.
