He's by Acclamation, out of Freedom Pass and (to my non bloodstock trained eye) as far removed from a future chaser as you're likely to see Nick. He was running over 7f on the flat last May and frankly I'm amazed he stays even 2 miles.
Elliott after his Gowran run in October; "He wants better ground so he'll have a break then and will be a horse to come back for the Fred Winter".

Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
Thank you both for the detailed replies, very much appreciated. If he’s entered in the Fred Winter I expect him to go very close but the market has already cottoned on. Just trying to find a bit of antepost value for the handicaps at the moment but it’s hard to find an ‘edge’ for me so far.
Like you Nick i was very taken by Chief Justice also; he did not get a hard race and has plenty match practice.
Current HRI rating is 133
