ANY DRAMA still has a lot to learn about jumping but he was most impressive when scoring last time when a previous dual winner finished a well beaten third. This looks an even easier task. He holds a couple of Grade Two entries in his diary and it will take something above average to beat him here. Paul Nicholls took this two years ago with subsequent Fred Winter winner Qualando. It is doubtful either Brahms de Clermont or The Last But One will ever get close to that level but they look set to occupy the places here at least.
