For one who stays well on the Flat it’s surprising that BECKY THE THATCHER hasn’t been given more opportunities over this sort of trip when she’s gone hurdling. She was flattered to get so near a well-treated rival last time but that run was very creditable all the same and gives her a leading chance here. Broughtons Admiral looks to be the main danger having turned in a fine effort at Cheltenham last time having been very consistent of late. Tapaculo will be worth watching with a view to seeing how much ability remains now that he’s had an outing after three years off with Talent To Amuse despite a rather hit-and-miss record of late another to take into consideration.
