Any one like Drumcliff? Could sneak in at the weights, currently I think one of the 2 reserves, so only need 2 to pull out before final declarations.
Failed to deliver over hurdles, but his chase performances have been solid enough, if you excuse his last run, over a trip too short IMO where he was readily outpaced as you'd expect in a 2m Grade 2 race, but on the whole he actually jumped really well that day at pace, he is 2 from 3 over the larger obstacles. His overall profile probably isn't ideal leading into the race, but he clearly was expected to achieve a bit over hurdles going off favourite for 4 of his 7 races he ran in. Still lightly raced, 12 runs in 3 and a bit years, he has already achieved more in terms of victories since turning to chasing this season. He will obviously need to improve, but I expect him to do so, and I can see him running a big race for connections who already have 2 strong hopefuls in the race currently.
25/1 NRNB is big enough for me to have a go at, had 2pts e/way.
