MIGHT I is 18lb clear of his only other rival and is hard to oppose. He made a couple of bad errors on last month’s chasing debut but today’s faster going and the application of cheekpieces should help on that score. Bourbali hasn’t won over hurdles for some time and faces a stiff task debuting over fences on his first since April.
