Verdict

A good role of honour for this Listed prize with the likes of Rock On Ruby, Definitly Red and Ballyandy having captured it in previous years, and perhaps VOCARIUM can add his name to that group here. He has won once and finished second twice in his three bumpers so far, but one of those second placed finishes was to a subsequent Listed winner, and it's interesting that Peter Fahey has sent him over for this. Other previous winners to note here include Air Navigator and Skidoosh.
