Smart hurdler, now nine-years-old and off the mark over fences last month at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) on fourth attempt. This is much tougher on the terms.
Useful form over hurdles in France, well held here over hurdles in December and at Exeter on chase bow last month. More to prove than his rivals.
Learning his trade in four starts over fences this winter, opening account in 2m4f Wincanton (heavy) contest last month. Yard are picking up (6-24) and should go well once more despite 6lb hike.
Lightly-raced maiden over timber, already surpassing his achievements in that sphere with pair of wins at Musselburgh and Fontwell since going chasing. Likely to take stopping in hat-trick bid.
Forecasts
Silverhow (2/1), The Last But One (2/1), Rayvin Black (10/3), Diamant Bleu (4/1)
THE LAST BUT ONE is taking to this discipline nicely for Paul Nicholls and the manner of his win at Fontwell suggested there's still a bit more come from him. He can bring up the hat-trick at the main expense of Wincanton winner Silverhow for the in-form Tizzard team. Rayvin Black is respected but faces a job conceding lumps of weight to this trop while Diamant Bleu has plenty to prove on his British racecourse form so far.
- The Last But One
- Silverhow
- Rayvin Black
