A winner twice over 2m on the Flat last summer, ANY GIVEN MOMENT has every chance of proving just as effective over timber and can get off the mark at the first time of asking in this opener. Clowance House didn't show much on his hurdling debut at Newbury but did finish ahead of subsequent Plumpton fourth Nom Dom and should do better in time. He's preferred to Bun Oir, who's been well beaten in both starts since arriving in the country, Claire Dyson's fellow Irish import Peqeno Diablo and First Smash.
