Description
In full training.
Moving him on for our client after two starts as he appears to not be up to metropolitan class and client does not want to persist.
He is a great size, good scope, is completely sound and eye catching to look at.
A staying type and has schooled well over the jumps.
Would be far better suited in a country environment.
Out of a great family; his dam is a half sister to former world champion miler and multiple group one winner ABLE FRIEND.
