Seymour Weld always chasing winner, jumped right 2nd, mistake 7th, ridden after 9th, 5 lengths 2nd and held when mistake 4 out

Italiano held up in touch, lost place after 3rd, tailed off when pulled up before 8th
I´m So Lucky held up towards rear, headway 6th, disputing close 2nd when stumbled and fell 9th
Seymour Weld, a winning plater over hurdles, had run a moderate fourth in a 2m6f novice chase here earlier this month and, though no match for the winner, turned in a respectable effort this time.
Ashwell Lad, who reportedly never travelled when pulled up at Huntingdon last time, was again never a factor here but plugged on for a well-beaten third when de Soto ran out of steamin the home straight.
I'm So Lucky, in good form over hurdles recently, jumped well on this chase debut and was travelling well, just a couple lengths down on Strong Weld, when he stumbled and came down three strides after jumping the fifth last.
