Nico de Boinville: “We hope he will make a decent chaser”
Bhaloo
He goes well when fresh and he was in good form over hurdles in early summer. Hopefully, he can progress further over fences, and trip and ground look ideal for him here. An opening mark of 130 is probably not generous on his hurdles form but, like I said, we hope he will make a decent chaser and this race has cut up a fair bit.
Matterhorn
He was impressive when I won on him at Stratford in July, but his jumping was not as good last time when he was pulled up. He went up a lot for that Stratford win, but this is his ground and hopefully he can return to form here. It looks a tough race, though.

Break My Soul
She came good at Chepstow and Fontwell at the end of last season, and hopefully she can maintain that winning form here. Obviously, this is a lot harder and a mark of 122 makes life tough, but she is obviously lightly-raced and open to further improvement.
Eternal Angel
He is a nice son of Authorised, related to a Flat winner, and we have liked what we have seen of him at home. But this could be a hot little bumper, so let’s see how he fares on his first day at school.
