0-6 in points for Clive Boultbee-Brooks; displayed significant ability in that sphere, perhaps most notably when second of 16 in Larkhill maiden in February, but is probably best watched on this rules debut; changed hands for £3,000 last month; tongue-tie added.

Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score over C&D (good) last month, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt; evidently in good nick and subsequent 4lb rise is not excessive.
