PEACE AND CO is a cut above the opposition. He made a winning start over fences at Hexham when jumping well for the most part and Nicky Henderson’s charge should go in again with a clear round. Azzuri and Chieftain's Choice share a similar rating over hurdles and both make their chasing bow while The Society Man just needs to get round to pick up some prize money.
