Verdict

KOTMASK confirmed chase-debut promise when winning with plenty in hand at Plumpton last month and surely has more to offer in this sphere for his in-form yard. Ballybreeze didn't get the chance to show what he could do at Cheltenham on his return and remains of interest, while the selection's stablemate Hudson de Grugy isn't taken lightly given his record here.
