Forgive one poor run and novice looks nicely handicapped

No. 7
Pithivier
4.15 Exeter
1pt win at 15-2 generally

Before he ran last time I thought Pithivier was a novice chaser on the way up and as he simply ran no race - he looked beaten after the first two fences - I've got to give him another chance even though this is a competitive heat.

On his chase debut in November he was beaten just over ten lengths into third giving 10lb to the now 134-rated Actinpieces, while on his next start he ran really well attempting to give 15lb to Cabragh at Bangor and that one was third off 9lb higher in the race Pithivier failed to finish next time.
