He comes with risks attached, but with a few of the Jonjo O'Neill handicappers refinding their form recently, the suggestion is CLUBS ARE TRUMPS, on a wininng mark if the mood takes him and should find conditions to his liking. His young apprentice ensures there's no weight on his back and he can gain a first success now the cheekpieces are back on. Lac Sacre runs his race more often than not and can pick up the silver, with Thegreendalerocket rounding out the places.
