Four-year-old gelding by Milan out of Glory Days who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Purchased for EUR € 30,000 (Goffs - IRE 2023 Arkle Sale (Part 1)). But hard to recommend without a market push.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd of 9 at Punchestown on November 24 over 3419m, on a slow track; 15 len behind Kalypso'chance carrying 76kg at $3.50. Should come on following that experience and looks the testing material.
