OSCARS LEADER already looks as good at chasing as hurdling so Jennie Candlish's charge is taken to supplement his recent success at Haydock on the back of just a 3 lb rise in the weights. The main danger could be Heartbreak Kid, who belatedly opened his account in this sphere last time. Both Star Academy and Chazza departed early on their chase debuts so any market support may prove significant.
