Verdict

Despite the fact his jumping was a bit erratic and he got no further than the third on his chasing debut, HES NO TROUBLE should prove more than able to take advantage of this drop in grade on his second run over fences. He is far less exposed than his rivals, and should prove to be a fair bit better than a 122-rated animal in time. Next best looks to be Jaboticaba who has found one too good on each of his two chase runs so far, but should be there or thereabouts on the basis of that form. Nobel Leader also enters calculations given he is a recent winner over fences, and scored over C&D last season.
  1. Hes No Trouble
  2. Jaboticaba
  3. Nobel Leader
