Creditable effort when 16-1 third at Turffontein last month, behind the reopposing After Hours; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last October) and hardly a model of consistency; a bad draw to contend with and looks opposable.

TWELVE OCLOCK HIGH is the recommendation. Ombudsman poses a serious threat to the tip, and Laughing William certainly isn't out of it.
