Analyis of the race

A case of I'M SO LUCKY getting round in this novice chase and he did not let anybody down as he jumped very well and won as he should, taking into account his superiority over hurdles. Although connections have the option of going for the valuable handicap chase at Market Rasen next month, he is more likely to be put ways until the autumn when he could be aimed some of the better novice chases. The Grade 1 novice chase at Cheltenham in November looks a likely target.

Mister Benedictine at least got round this time, which is more than he did in Ireland last time, but the form of his novice win has yet to add up.
