Orions Bow was with Gosden originally,

got to as low as 69 in the ratings before his 5 timer,

ended up 103 when 2nd at Goodwood which is probably the horses initial ability !

Nicholls has always been an excellent trainer of sprinters, just a surprise how the numbers have dwindled the last few seasons Crazy
