Things haven’t exactly gone to plan so far over fences for Captain Moirette and he’s starting to run out of time. Cilaos Glace finished second in a better race at Wetherby in October but has disappointed in his other runs over the larger obstacles. Jumping remains an issue with Some Detail but Crypto is sure to have learned plenty form his third at Chepstow two weeks ago. Having won at Newcastle in December, VICTORY ECHO was still travelling when brought down at Ayr 10 days ago and may still be on a fair mark.
