Jumping at speed might prove a problem for classy hurdler on second chase start

Slate House
1.55 Kempton
SP forecast 9-4

Developing into a top-class novice in his second season chasing and might have been coming here on a hat-trick but for falling at the second-last in the BetVictor Gold Cup at Cheltenham last month when he was travelling best and traded at 1.64 in running. He put that firmly behind him when cosily beating useful prospect Tarada by half a length over 2m7½f at Huntingdon this month and that proves he stays this trip.

Conclusion Happy to take him on with Danny Whizzbang, Black Op and Master Tommytucker are also dangers.
