Reasoning	Won 2m110y Maiden and Novices' hurdle race at Newbury last season. Finished 2nd to Menorah (2010 Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner) at Kempton inbetween those wins. His last race last year was in the Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle when he finished just 17 of 28 weakening at before the last hurdle. A P McCoy was not on board the Festival ride but he was booked for the three runs previously mentioned. He is again booked today for this one and his track experience is greater than any of his rival jockeys. He's ridden 27 wins from 103 the last 5 seasons going 10 from 35 on the chase course. His rivals combined for a 12 wins from 137 rides and just 4 from 32 in chases.

Reasoning	Dissapointing on chase debut LTO but that being a Grage 2 he can be forgiven. His hurdling form is almost the same as his stablemate Bellvano, won two of his last three prior to his last outing. The first win came over 2m4f at Chepstow. Penultimate run was for 3m at Newbury (Good to Soft) beating Aiteen Thirtythree by a neck. He's not the perfect jumper in the last two runs but he is capable of recovering well after making any mistakes. He proved that two runs back when when he asserting in the final 100yds after not being fluent late in the race. His last run in November was after a summer break and might not have been as sharp then. It's been 41 days off and expect him to be near his best again.
