GERRI COLOMBE has met with defeat only once in his career and is fancied to pass his stiffest test to date with flying colours with further improvement very much on the cards. John Durkan hero Fastorslow can prove the main threat to Gordon Elliott's top-class prospect ahead of last year's Gold Cup hero Galopin des Champs in a fascinating Savills Chase.
