Smart bumper performer who left hurdles debut effort well behind when making all in 15-runner Exeter novice. Steady progress since, resuming winning ways under a penalty at Taunton on final start for Paul Nicholls in December (sold £12,000 in June).

Forecasts

Iceo (4/9), Mount Tempest (9/4), Timeforatune (10/1)

An excellent opportunity for Imperial Cup winner ICEO to make a winning start over fences with Mount Tempest (shaped as if amiss in April) and Timeforatune (sold for only £12,000 from Paul Nicholls in June) arriving with something to prove.
