had scored over fences from 14 lb higher a month earlier and - wearing blinkers for just the second time in his career - capitalised on a much lower hurdles mark to follow up; prominent, travelled well, led on bridle between 3 out and 2 out, asserted before last, ridden out; his mark in this sphere will no doubt take a big hit for this success, and it'll be no surprise if he's back over the larger obstacles before too long, with few likely to arrive in better heart if taking up his entry for the Paddy Power Chase over the Christmas period, unproven over 3m but shaping as though worth a try in his current mood.

A valuable handicap hurdle lacking too many obvious improvers, and it was left to the fairly useful chaser Rossvoss - always towards the front end in a steadily-run race - to make a mockery of his much lower hurdles mark, scooting away in the closing stages. ROSSVOSS had scored over fences from 14 lb higher a month earlier and - wearing blinkers for just the second time in his career - capitalised on a much lower hurdles mark to follow up; prominent, travelled well, led on bridle between 3 out and 2 out, asserted before last, ridden out; his mark in this sphere will no doubt take a big hit for this success, and it'll be no surprise if he's back over the larger obstacles before too long, with few likely to arrive in better heart if taking up his entry for the Paddy Power Chase over the Christmas period, unproven over 3m but shaping as though worth a try in his current mood. BENTELIMAR (IRE) had a lot on his plate trying to concede - before his jockey's claim is taken into account - 28 lb to Rossvoss, unlucky to bump into one so well treated but nevertheless improving further back up in trip; waited with, crept closer from halfway, went second before last, kept on though no impression on winner; another small weight rise awaits, though he should remain competitive.
