chased winner until ridden and weakened from 3 out
jumped slowly 1st and 2nd, always in rear, behind when pulled up after 2 out
held up, ridden to chase winner from 3 out, every chance last, not quickened flat
chased leaders, hit 4th, reminders next, behind from 3 out
made all, ridden approaching 2 out, kept on from last
Richard Guest has made a bright start to his training career and can add to his tally with Able Native. The daughter of Thatching ran as though in need of the race last time following a near five-month break and should be much sharper here. Well treated on the pick of last year's hurdling form, the six-year-old looks the one to beat. Court Of Justice was a decisive winner of a Leicester seller in December but had his limitations exposed in handicap company next time and is likely to struggle to concede 12lb to the selection. Feanor has claims on last year's placed efforts in novice events but only lasted as far as the second flight on her seasonal return here last month and has something to prove while Tomenoso can't be fancied after flopping last time out.
