Couldn’t believe nothing came to him and put his jumping, which hasn’t been the best to date, under any pressure. Maybe nothing else could lay up with the former Grade 1 winning hurdler but a cracking ride from Cobden who’s often so good from the front.

Simply this

Never look like stopping and attacked each fence

Hopefully we see him at Aintree to put the form in some context

That about sums it up.
Harry mentioned the work the stable did sorting out small niggles.
One thing for sure, no sign of him jumping to his right today; he was a joy to watch.
Nothing soft about his lead as nothing could lay up , let alone take him on.

The second-5th all had finishing percentages 104-106% suggesting they opted not to lay up.

The winner's finish was 107%. So it set a good pace and was faster at the end. Different class, as you suggest.
