The EBF Novice Hurdle, run at Sandown Imperial Cup Meeting on the Saturday before Cheltenham, has a history of producing high class horses and last season’s renewal has already started to throw up winners from amongst the placed horses. Having stayed on strongly into fourth on the day, he got his reward at Cheltenham in April, winning a decent handicap hurdle comfortably enough from a perch of 127 and his revised rating of 134 should ensure he gets a nice racing weight in a race like Haydock’s Fixed Brush Handicap Hurdle on Betfair Chase day before presumably pursuing a career over fences.
He could end up a fancied runner in the 2 mile 5 furlong novice handicap chase at the festival given that he’s already shown a liking for the track and is likely to prove a better horse over fences.
