Prefontaine has the necessary ability to take such a contest in his stride, but as a somewhat quirky and difficult to predict character he's nearly always opposed. It remains early days over hurdles for the Dr Richard Newland-trained filly Operatic Export who will surely be better suited by this much easier assignment than at Aintree (Listed contest). However, with a tongue-tie now added to MICK PASTOR, the JP McManus-owned former French racer really deserves another chance to fulfil his undoubted potential over timber.
