Form & Verdict
Top-class chaser when on his game but has become very frustrating and disappointed in two handicaps back in the spring after fluffing a good opportunity in a Grade 3 at Naas; however, too talented to be negative about him in this company and he did win his only previous Flat race (1m2f maiden) in 2018.
