has really improved over the last 9 months and defied a 5 lb rise for Haydock with another career-best effort, a good test at this trip perfect for him; mid-division, jumped well, headway under pressure after 3 out, disputed second last where bold jump and landed running, stayed on strongly, led near finish, suited by the strong pace; he should be competitive in some of the other valuable handicap chases through the summer.

is thriving this spring, taking more racing and holding it all together well, and he went like the best horse at the weights here but, having done plenty at the head of affairs, just proved vulnerable to a strong stayer at the trip who is also in top form; forced pace, jumped well, travelled strongly, clear 3 out, looked in control still last, collared close home; he'll continue to run well in good races this summer.
