Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
His last start over this course and distance is best ignored as he was reported to be not striding out. The son of Rafeef is having his peak run and his work at home has been solid. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale knows him well and we should see a much better effort.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Gelded 2025.12.23. Best MR:98. Had excuses last time. Both wins have come over this trip.

He produced an encouraging comeback run over this distance on the polytrack. The son of What A Winter has come on from the run and is doing well at home. He will be finishing strongly and if all goes according to plan, he should be competitive.
