In depth
Verdict
A winner in France, Le Patron finished runner-up over track and trip on his debut for Gary Moore but failed to build on that effort back here last time. Royal Sam and Kenny George also figured on their penultimate starts in lower grade contests while EVERYTHING’SONTICK won a maiden hurdle at Chepstow before running well under a penalty at Warwick. He’s had a breathing operation since and is taken to make a winning handicap debut in this.
