Form & Verdict
Brother to Group 1 winner Champers Elysees has come up against decent sorts on both starts, keen and green when fourth at the Curragh and again keen enough at Roscommon, making running but not looking to get home over extended 7f; back in trip here and major claims, especially if settling better.
