Formerly a fairly useful staying hurdler for Gordon Elliott, MUSIC DRIVE shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth on his first start in a hunter chase at the Festival last month. He's taken to build on that effort and get the better of Foxhunters' winner Gracchus de Balme who should make another bold bid. Macklin is respected back under Rules representing a jockey/trainer who has few equals in this sphere.
