Tracked leaders, mistake and lost place 5th, not fluent and pushed along 7th, headway after 4 out, led before 2 out, soon headed, 3rd and no chance with winner last tchd 40/1
Floki (4/9), Fortified Bay (11/8), Knockoura (4/1), Buddha Scheme (11/2), Teviot Prince (25/1), Clondaw Fixer (25/1), Forbidding (50/1)
A weak maiden hurdle. FORTIFIED BAY has the best form in the book and is owned by the St Boswells-based Rooney's, so it is worth taking a chance on his well-being at their local track (returning from a 711 day absence). The only other viable alternative is the Dan Skelton-trained Floki who will probably improve upon his obstacles debut third at Warwick.
