Verdict
Courtandbould has been racing over fences but has won three times over hurdles and is 6lb lower than when last seen over the smaller obstacles. Global Citizen is eased in grade and a promising conditional takes off 5lb while Ecco won twice last season, including once over this course and distance, and has had wind surgery since last seen. HERBIERS was pulled up on his reappearance but ran much better at Wetherby next time. Given the way he stormed up the hill at Sandown on his final start last season, Ollie Greenall’s four-year-old should enjoy this step up in trip and he has his ground.
