Sets the standard here following what was a very good run in a high class Gimcrack at York, where the front two are sure to be running at the very highest level at some point this season. He had plenty of decent types behind him that day and having suggested the Mill Reef would be his next target, connections have clearly been tempted by the prize money on offer here. This represents a fair drop in class, the slightly longer trip will suit, he handles cut in the ground, he has a lot going for him.
