The fact that NO COMMENT prepped for this by running over 2m at Newbury suggests that connections have this in mind for a while, and he is well treated based on an eyecatching fifth in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in March. Dangers abound, headed by Kerry National winner Poker Party, and last year's third Fitzhenry, who was back to form in the Troytown Chase at Navan last time.
