Built up a good lead from the front latest but the outside draw makes life tough

Probably better over slightly further and 7lb higher now but is in rude health

Opening mark is high enough and an outside draw won't help his usual positive tactics

Promising yard debut but well beaten in 3 subsequent starts & this is sharp enough for him
9 (8)	Mint Man Bay J:Chris Hayes T:P J F Murphy	J:Chris Hayes T:P J F Murphy	132	t	425276	72	82	57	28d	—	—	+6	10.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%

Safely held in C&D Group 3 latest; back into calmer waters but tough ask off current mark

Cheekpieces; first start for new yard; good jockey booking but others are better treated
