Tracked winner throughout, mistake 6th, driven to challenge before 3 out, ridden between last 2, outpaced before last, no impression after op 85/40 tchd 9/4
Tanarpino (4/11), Mighty Leader (2/1), Cherif De L'Isle (4/1), Spinning Scooter (16/1), Hard Knocks (33/1)
The weight that TANARPINO receives from Mighty Leader may prove crucial at the business end of the race and it is Jennie Candlish's charge who is preferred in this five runner novice chase. The selection has placed on half of his six chase starts and can get the better of Fergal O'Brien's gelding who was a winner last time. Cherif De L'isle was a winner over hurdles in France and can claim third on chase debut.
