made all, pressed when left clear 2 out
tracked leaders in 3rd, weakened from 7th and detached, left 2nd 2 out
The Jugopolist has only been placed six times in 22 starts over fences so this looks a match between The Tourard Man and TEMPESTATEFLORESCO. Alan King's charge got off the mark over fences at Worcester in June having won his previous two over hurdles. But the latter, a winning pointer, was very impressive on his debut under Rules at Newton Abbot and has the greater scope.
