12.45 Ascot
SP forecast 2-5
Rated a 9lb better hurdler than only rival Mont Des Avaloirs and improved for the switch to fences when winning by eight lengths in a 2m3f novice chase at Ascot on soft ground last month. That gives him 9lb in hand on chase ratings in this match and there should be more to come.
