Tailed off in valuable hurdle on stable debut but dangerous to ignore on this chase debut
6	Chapel Green Bay J:Craig Nichol T:Lucinda Russell	J:Craig Nichol T:Lucinda Russell	161	p	515812	117	127	118	12d	—	—	+21	34.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%

Good winner in November; contender if confidence is not dented by a subsequent heavy fall

Second in this race a year ago but younger rivals appeal more today
