Beat a subsequent winner at Leicester and probably matched that form when third off 9lb higher mark at Wincanton. May have more to come but has to give plenty of weight away to some progressive rivals and drop in trip not certain to suit.
Game winner here on latest over hurdles and now reverts to the larger obstacles having jumped with little confidence when last seen over them so bit to prove.
Yet to win since debut in 2016 but almost put that right in valuable handicap at Warwick last month when just touched off. More to come over fences after just the four runs and obvious contender.
The switch to fences last time showed him in a much better light when chasing home a big improver at Hereford. Open to lots of improvement and set to play a leading role.
Has taken well to fences and drying ground a plus. This represents a jump in class but hasn't stopped improving though 9lb rise for latest win demands more.
Has taken well to chasing and completed hat-trick at Fontwell well in the end though for a while id didn't look likely. Deserves a go in better company though may lack the scope of some of his rivals.
Forecasts
Diable De Sivola (2/1), Cracking Destiny (7/2), Another Stowaway (7/2), Saintemilion (4/1), Dinos Benefit (13/2), Away For Slates (25/1)
A good race and SAINTEMILLON created a good impression on his recent chasing debut and is taken to go one better at the expense of the Warwick second Diable De Sivola. Cracking Destiny has taken well to fences and looks best of the rest.
