Many times in the past SKY PIRATE has let his supporters down and jumping can be his Achilles heel. All of that said though he is almost certainly on a winnable mark at present and he looks the most attractively handicapped horse in the race. If thing again go awry progressive Storm Control and consistent Barton Knoll would be the likely profiteers.
