For a 151 rated hurdler, wasn’t able to prove much against just two rivals on his chase debut at Uttoxeter. However, his fencing was exemplary and two of the past three winners, Garde La Victoire and Le Prezien, were first and second in that beginners’ chase.

Years ago fossils like me couldn’t have a Triumph Hurdle winner going chasing, but Commanche Court (Irish National)and Katarino (dual Fox Hunters) changed that view and Tiger Roll has kicked it completely into touch in recent years. The 2017 winner Defi Du Seuil had a restricted campaign last season when his stable was out of sorts and he should be ready to roll after a long summer break. Five winners, all from top yards, have been successful on their debut in the past four decades.
