Six-year-old gelding by Soldier Of Fortune trained by F O'Brien at Cheltenham. No recent form or statistics are provided. Needs to be taken on trust but has some appeal on profile.

Has finished 5th at both starts this season, most recently at Hereford over 3267m on 6 Apr, beaten 15L with 71.5kg at $4. Ran 5th at Huntingdon prior, beaten 7.75L at $6. Yet to place from three career runs but has been contesting similar company. Can improve with the extra race fitness.
