Simple task at Carlisle in March and then right up to his best when third in Aintree Foxhunters. Disappointed when pulled up at Fairyhouse last time but one of the few serious players here and has to be respected.

Hard to split the pair at the top of the card and narrow preference goes to ROAD TO RICHES to get the better of Southfield Vic. Third spot looks booked for Herbert Park
