Verdict
Arnaud generally prefers quick ground, as it was when beating The Game Changer over fences at Wexford last month. But he produced a fine run over timber on very heavy ground at Sligo later so with conditions not his problem he'll be supported to get back to winning ways. However, he faces a stiff task at the weights against SAVELLO, who is rated 9lb higher and has been competing at a very high level since landing the Grand Annual at Cheltenham last year. He beat the useful Darwin's Fox at Punchestown in June before running well for a long way in the Galway Plate. Pass The Hat was running very well at this time a year ago and is by no means out of this if returning to that kind of form while Enjoy Responsibility looked a smart prospect when making all and landing a tough Killarney handicap last month.
