Has shown some ability over fences in two of his three starts but it is now three years since his last win and that came in a selling hurdle. Faces a tough task at the weights and a minor place is the most he can hope for.
To say his chasing debut was a disappointment is an understatement when he never jumped with any fluency or élan. His hurdles form last year if he reproduced it would be good enough to win this and a return to going right-handed may suit him better.
Makes his chasing debut after finishing 4th of nine in a selling hurdle last time out but looks totally outclassed in this.
Failed to land the odds on his chasing debut at Worcester returning from a break having shown some useful form over hurdles. Only went down narrowly to a race-fit rival in a race that developed into a speed test; could be seen to better effect over 2m4f.
Forecasts
Tommy Silver (2/5), Cultivator (2/1), Boston Blue (50/1), Ocean Bentley (200/1)
Only a modest event that really shapes up as a match with TOMMY SILVER having made the bigger impression on his chase debut. Cultivator will need to jump better than he did on his debut while Boston Blue looks booked for third place barring mishaps.
