Racing second-up today. First-up after two months finished second of 8 runners at Aintree in the G1 Maghull Novices Chase on April 11 over 3218m, 6 len behind Mirabad carrying 73kg at $1.70. Previously second-up finished sixth of 9 runners at Leopardstown in the G1 Racing Post Novice Chase on December 26 over 3419m, 21 len behind Romeo Coolio carrying 75.5kg at $5.50. Definite chance. Worth consideration.
