Form & Verdict
Fair debut when staying on for sixth at Naas in March; faded in the closing stages over 1m at Navan in April; considerable merit in his fourth placing, since the runner-up spot went to the high-class Zahraan (second in the King Edward VII Stakes, won Royal Whip) winner Mississippi River has continued to prosper, as has third-placed Omni Man; gelded now; could be hard to beat.
