Haven't seen him in the flesh, Sheikh, but yes, he did look as though he has some filling out to do - but then so did Well Chief, who was also a 5yo when he won the Arkle.

Not a comparison or justification, btw, just an observation. The modern trend is to race 'em young. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - just hope no damage is done.
