APPRECIATE IT was brilliant in bumpers and even better in his novice campaign over hurdles where he won all four starts including three Grade 1 contests. He was having his first start for a year when unplaced in this year's Champion Hurdle where he was by no means disgraced after attempting to make all. A winning point-to-pointer, he's impossible to oppose on his chasing debut. Stable companion Hawai Game beat a huge field of maiden hurdlers on his debut for the yard though failed to make an impact in Grade 2 company later but Top Bandit, who completed a hat-trick over timber when scoring here a year ago, looks the type to do well over fences. Get My Drift was very disappointing over 2m3f here last month after a fair chasing debut at Navan.
