Led in start, led, hit 4 out, mistake and narrowly headed next, soon in front again, headed approaching 2 out, rallied approaching last, ridden and stayed on same pace run-in op Evens
Raced keenly, tracked leading pair until steadied into 4th place after 2nd, blundered 3 out, headway on inside before 2 out, 3rd and one pace last op 7/4
Chaparral Prince (5/6), Tiffin Top (15/8), Running Cloud (12/1), Flaminger (12/1), Vlannon (20/1)
This looks a good opportunity for CHAPARRAL PRINCE whose second over C&D reads very well here and Nicky Henderson's juvenile's juvenile looks the one to be on. Tiffin Top is the only rival with comparable form and Alan King; like Henderson excels with juvenile hurdlers so he is the alternative. Flaminger ran a pleasing race in a French bumper and is certainly worth watching here on his UK/stable/hurdles debut.
