Confidence high in exciting Dusart whether he goes over fences or stays hurdling

In Shishkin and Chantry House, Seven Barrows housed Britain's best and third-best novice chasers last season, and expect to trouble the handicappers at the higher end of the scale if he gets the go-ahead for fences.

The Flemensfirth half-brother to late yard favourite Simonsig won a warm Newbury novice hurdle in November, but he missed most of the season before finishing a fine third in the Top Novices' Hurdle at Aintree's Grand National meeting.

He screams chaser but Nicky Henderson is torn between that and more hurdling given the six-year-old's inexperience.
