Thisonetime started favourite over 2m4f here last month but probably didn’t last home. He could be worth another chance over this shorter trip but MULTICULTURE would not need to be anything special to make a winning start under NH Rules. He won over 1m4f on the Flat at Roscommon last summer for previous connections and is sure to have plenty of schooling. Culmination should have come on a bundle for his fourth at Catterick and looks the pick of the remainder with Fifty Bob likely to be seen in a handicap sooner rather than later.
