he may be improving, but the way i look at it is without that one Monmouth race Idiot Proof would not even be considered a contender, so to me there is nothing in the way of confirmation that he is good enough to win this, or that its likely he'll run back to something close to that race. I hate to pick one race out of the PP's and base everything on it, especially a weak looking GR3.
In the Ancient Title Gregs Gold was much the best and Idiot Proof was less than a length in front of Barbeque Eddie, who has only a maiden win to his credit. you may say that he didn't like the cushion track but the fact remains that the beyer from that race was better than all of his dirt beyers save for the Monmouth romp. imo he's not a win candidate.
