Not at best this season but of much greater interest now he drops in trip and grade

C&D winner in November but ended 2024 with a down-the-field run; hard to predict

Finished well for fifth here (6f) last time, his third run; drop to 5f not an obvious move

Ended 2024 with two good 6f runs but this drop back to 5f is probably not ideal
12 (5)	Mr Valiant Bay J:K De Melo T:David Eustace	J:K De Melo T:David Eustace	117	t	95880-	42	71	-	20d	—	—	—	0	—	—
