Me too. I've mentioned before he has an awful lot of miles on the clock and has way more starts than Denman and more even than Our Vic.

Last year he ran poorly at Haydock when he wasn't as fresh as he could have been because of the Down Royal race. This year he should and did run better because it was his first run of the year. But he still ran as much as a stone below his best. At his price today that is reason enough to think about taking him on.

I think he is on the downgrade but his rating gives him a cushion of maybe ten pounds. I think he'll probably win but that it may well be his last hurrah.
