First run for this yard having shown some useful novice hurdle form last year for his former yard. Could hardly have been found a better/easier opportunity on his chase debut.
Hurdles winner last year and ran with credit after that although he did flatter to deceive on a few occasions. Yard do well with their chasers although this looks a tough start for him.
The tally now stands at 63 chase starts without a win and he would be a surprise winner in this and would need to benefit from others mishaps.
Forecasts
Chirico Vallis (1/5), Manwell (4/1), Breeze Along (25/1), The Society Man (66/1)
A moribund and uninteresting contest which will more than likely go the way of CHIRICO VALLIS who has been found a very weak race to make his chasing debut in. Manwell looks likely to chase him home with the most competitive battle the one for the minor place between Breeze Along and The Society Man.
