Better run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "A horse that's had his troubles - classy on his day, but hasn't won now since 2017 - but that was a G2 Novices' Chase! Been below par this year after a good third in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup back in Dec. We are now down in grade and 7lbs lower than that Cheltenham run so should find this a lot easier. Should also enjoy the better ground (has won on good ground), but will just need to brush up his jumping a bit from last time. Bit to prove based on recent runs, but can't rule out on these terms."
