He has been doing too much in the early stages in his races, and the stable has opted to drop him back to 1200m. We are hoping that this will teach him to settle. The son of Canford Cliffs will be running on at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:96. Meets number 2 on similar weight terms. Solid back-up for Greeff camp.
