Verdict

Having taken a while to come to hand for his current stable, OLYMPICUS put it all together when beating Hakuna Babe at Newmarket last time and, with an excellent pedigree to fall back on, he's taken to improve further and follow up at the possible expense of the same rival. Golden Maverick is another one to consider.
