Came in 17th last time at Ascot but up against a less competitive field. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Expecting a solid performance.

First up after a break. Started $251.00 and mediocre display when 7th last time at Navan and facing formidable competition. Hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Needs significant improvement.
