Our fed only goes 482 mile to me,but I'm sure my old timer could cope with a few extra miles, a bit of a plodder upto 200,then again when he was younger he scored at shorter races.He's won grom Portsmouth 300ml,Fourgeres 452ml and Messac at 482 ml.He handles long fairly norrow andhas a great temprement,also looks the part.He's never came home distressed and always full of himself,I can't ever remember him being off colour even though some of his loft mates at sometime or other have been.As Blackdog says the three H's Head,Health and Heart the rest will follow.Also had a Red cock completely different shape though good to handle, won Lessay twice,near enough won the fed.The H's were there.
