Won on chase debut at Aintree and this big 4yo could have lots more to offer over fences

Made all with something to spare on chase debut at Kempton and could continue to progress

First past the post over hurdles here last term; switch to fences could prompt improvement

Impressive on chase debut at Chepstow; 8lb rise might not stop him if he can back that up
5	Secret Des Dieux Bay J:Sean Bowen T:James Owen	J:Sean Bowen T:James Owen	156	—	1354-1	121	140	125	30d	—	—	+21	30.3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Back up in grade today but won comfortably on his chase debut and is not ruled out

Runner-up on chase debut at Uttoxeter; could take a step forward today but needs to

Flat win in August but struggled over hurdles in 2024; may be best watched on chase debut
