In depth
Verdict
The Character won twice over 1m2f on the Flat but didn't appear to last home on his hurdling debut over track and trip here. SUPPLY AND DEMAND was let down by his jumping at Uttoxeter last November but is sure to have had plenty of schooling since and probably has more scope than the majority of these. Thunder Pass is preferred to stablemate Tobacco Road but Kalaskadesemilley looks a bigger threat on his latest second at Worcester having finished ahead of The Character here previously.
