Charlie Appleby's runner is a hard one to judge seeing as he has been running in Hong Kong and Dubai, winning two grade 1's in the process.
But that is not to say his form is not impressive with the 2022 Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland and a easy listed win at Kempton this season under his belt, he is sure oto have plenty of ability.
