SAO hasn't lived up to expectations since joining the ranks at Ditcheat but this French import isn't worth giving up on just yet. The new headgear may help him to race in a more relaxed fashion and, that being the case, this could be his chance to break through. Ex-Willie Mullins inmate Torrent Des Mottes isn't taken lightly for his new connections while Warwick second Higgs is also noted. Rooster Cogburn was an expensive purchase and is noted now going over jumps for the first time.
