Sets the standard on form and looks ready for today's greater demands on stamina

No match for a very classy winner at Leicester but has strong place claims

Likeable 7yo but, on ratings, Jurancon is entitled to have his measure

Placed in a point but hurdling debut over C&D was thoroughly underwhelming

200-1 when tailed off at Warwick last month and he's hard to recommend
