Off the mark in handicaps at the third attempt at Kempton (3m) in December. Didn't jump with his usual fluency over the different fences in the Topham last month but this is easier and he could take some pegging back.
|
Good third in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November but not the most robust and has usually flattered to deceive again since, faltering quickly back from another breathing operation at Ayr last month. Longer trip fine but he's risky.
|
Winning return in 3-runner handicap chase at Newbury (2½m) in November but has found things tougher since, well beaten in another veterans' handicap at Fakenham last week fitted with in first-time cheekpieces. Unproven over this far and tries another headgear combination here.

Forecasts
Viroflay (5/6), Hoe Joly Smoke (11/8), Certainly Red (5/1), Lord Baddesley (15/2)
VIROFLAY and veteran Certainly Red should find themselves quickly at the head of affairs and could dominate, with Viroflay narrowly preferred back in calmer waters having found the Topham all too much last time.
