THE TIMEFORM VIEW

PERFECT PLAY confirmed the promise of his runner-up effort on return when going one better at Chester in May, before probably doing just too much too soon to last home at Epsom a week later

He can leave his latest run behind back down in grade, so is taken to see off the challenge of In The Trenches and Orchestra.
