4/7

Very smart chaser. Career best when winning 4-runner Red Mills Chase (4/11) at Gowran (20f, heavy) by 16 lengths from Castlegrace Paddy, hard held. Off over 2 years but looks significant that he's still in training at the age of 12. Won this in 2020 and very much the one to beat.

Forecasts

Bachasson (4/7), My Design (4/1), Spyglass Hill (9/1), Bois De Clamart (9/1), Grand Paradis (14/1), Batcio (33/1)

Dual Grade 2 winning chaser BACHASSON should prove too classy for these despite his long absence. Spyglass Hill may be the one for the forecast if back to last season's form.
