Verdict

TIDE TIMES rather lost his way over hurdles but he took a step firmly in the right direction when second on chase debut at Market Rasen last month, travelling well and undone by a mistake at the last. This is tougher but he's open to further improvement in this sphere and earns the vote. Low-mileage 6-y-o Valsheda, on chase debut, and Quartz du Rheu, who arrives in fine form, head the dangers.

  1. TIDE TIMES (IRE)
