Led, jumped badly left and badly hampered rivals 1st, pushed along approaching 7th, ridden and headed before 3 out, plugged on in 3rd from 2 out op 20/1 tchd 14/1
Ferrobin (11/10), Thibault (13/8), Youracert (10/1), Green Or Black (14/1), Shady Oaks (16/1), Lord Condi (28/1), Knockmaole Boy (50/1)
Youracert could make a nice debut, but he is probably more likely to come into his own over further, while the same probably applies to Thibault, although a win for either would be no great surprise. However, FERROBIN was the best of this lot over hurdles, and although things turned sour, he will be well-versed ahead of this chase debut, goes well fresh and is the selection. Green Or Black is not written off.
