Massive Topofthegame could take giant step forward in Lanzarote

Topofthegame is going to make up into the most lovely chaser one day, but there could be a good prize in him over hurdles first.

Paul Nicholls’ six-year-old looks just the type for Kempton’s 32Red Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle (2.40) and goes there with decent claims.

Topofthegame is one of the biggest horses I’ve sat on – he’s an absolute giant – and was going nicely when he fell at Newbury on his chasing debut in November.
