Tempting Paradise failed to cut the mustard over hurdles, but looks the type todo much better over fences and this was an encouraging start. He jumped well in the main, and normal improvement should see him winning in this grade during summer.
Cheer Us On, who had made a bold bid from the front at Kelso last month, was held up on this occasion and got going too late to be a serious factor.
Media Man, reportedly struck into when tailed off last time, had no such excuse here and his limitations were well exposed when things got serious from two out.
