Pedigree: six-year-old gelding Midnight Legend (sire) - Playing Around (dam)
Owner: PJ Andrews
Form figures: 31112-2
Racing Post Rating 153 chase; Official rating 145 chase
Having finished second at Kelso on his reappearance he's hopefully heading for the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle. A slight worry is that he's by Midnight Legend and he's always given the impression he likes good ground. We won't know if he handles the soft until we try it but we'd think twice about running him if it was bottomless.

He ran an absolute stormer when third in the Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham's November meeting. Thyme Hill is the best novice Philip Hobbs has had in a long time and he was beaten less than four lengths. Stepping up to 3m will definitely help him and whatever he does over hurdles this season he's going to be a cracking novice chaser next season.
