Verdict

BLENHEIM BROOK has always looked a chaser in the making, despite winning three times over hurdles. That theory was backed up by an excellent first run over the larger obstacles behind the well-backed Astracad at Perth and Lucinda Russell's six-year-old can go one better today. Winning pointer Mr Moss is improving with experience and was only beaten a short-head by Vincitore in a driving finish at Worcester last month. He should be winning soon and makes more appeal than Tax Benefit, who weakened quickly in his first start under Rules at Sedgefield and may need more time.
