The banker of the meeting. Average performance of 63 is comfortably the highest in the field and his peak of 100 — a perfect performance rating — puts him in a different stratosphere to these rivals. He's won his last two D1 starts and his form of 47-100-82-74-47-46 shows a dog who has produced three performances above 74 in his last six runs, any one of which would win this race by daylight. Best speed figure in the field at 58 confirms the raw engine is there, and he draws the hottest trap at D1 grade with trap six converting at 23.0%. Trainer Brabon's 30% strike rate is the best at the meeting. The all-round running style means he can win from anywhere — lead, sit behind, or close late. There is no angle from which to oppose him. He's the best dog in the worst draw of the race for everyone else, and the best draw for himself. Virtually bombproof.
