Placed plenty of times but has only won the once in 19 starts; not the percentage play

1m perhaps too sharp on his reappearance but he's an exposed 8yo and can be taken on
NR (5)	Wyld Bill Grey J:Ray Dawson T:Denis Quinn	J:Ray Dawson T:Denis Quinn	134	—	7P-56	57	62	-	68d	—	—	—	1.8	—	—
Uncompetitive in four Flat races and a 4yo hurdle; goes handicapping with lots to prove.
