Projected won four times for Andre Fabre. He was later successful in a Grade 2 in the States and made a winning start for new connections here six days ago so has to go on the shortlist. Having split Dazzling Truths and Exchequer here in January, On a Spree was only beaten a head by Americandy in February and went one better last month. FAST FIRE reversed earlier running with Bourbon Extension when successful in March. The War Chant gelding never seems to run a bad race and won’t be fazed by a wide draw.
