PASSING WELL understandably found the competition too hot in a Newbury Grade 1 on New Year's Eve and he looks capable of defying a penalty back in less exalted company. Having shaped well both starts in bumpers last term. Paddock Cottage is an intriguing candidate now tackling hurdles but Fame And Concrete, who found just one too strong on debut in this sphere at Worcester during the autumn, is feared most. Fabuleux du Clos is likely to be on the premises, too.
