I was against him on here prior to the Chepstow run, mainly on the basis that he always tends to clout a fence and around Chepstow and in a race like the Welsh National that can end a horses chances as they struggle to get back into a rhythm on the undulations. He raced very similar when PU in the Welsh Nash trial a couple of years back.

He's shown he can bounce back, efforts such as the London National and Hennessy show that he can win of a mark not much lower than this and the trip looks like being a plus, which you can't say for too many in the field. Wouldn't be for me though as despite the suggested ease in the fences I don't like his jumping.
