4.5L 2:58.18 A classic Joseph O’Brien project horse who went hurdling as a younger horse before returning to the flat and slowly improving with racing. Split the talented Purview and subsequent Group 1 winner Hotazhell over 2011m before beating Al Riffa in the Group 2 Curragh Cup (2816m). The stable have followed the same path as 2020 Cup winner Twilight Payment through the Group 1 Irish St Leger (2816m) where he ran a sound fourth. Stays well, importantly has a turn of foot, and gets J-Mac aboard – he ticks a lot of boxes. Strapper Daire Davis
