Ed, I was impressed with him. O'Brien's horses havent been firing and he was shouldered with a 5lb G1 penalty (for winning what was a very weak G1 last year!) so you could hardly have expected much, but he won well. With the connections etc, it was only natural that the price would tumble. He looks to be there number one horse unless they try to convert Rip Van Winkle into one after the Guineas..
