Being such an imposing sort PASS THE BALL, was always going to be a horse who improves with age. He has won his last two races very easily and looks the type set to go through the ranks very quickly.

Having had a really successful summer on the point-to-point scene (two seconds, three wins) plus a solid run in a hunter chase, connections brought him back under rules over hurdles at Tipperary where he bolted up. The second from that race, Milestone Prince, went on to win by eight lengths next time out.

He was then put over over fences and again won very easily at the same course over half a mile shorter.

An 18lb rise for his run two starts ago may seem a bit excessive but everything about the horse points to him being far superior than a mark of 103.

As already mentioned, he is a horse on the upgrade and I think he will take a lot of beating today.
