A few of these are likely to prove better chasers than hurdlers. Premiumaccess has won between the flags and is one of them with Generation Gap another. Muse Of Fire was in front and still travelling when falling four out at Ludlow but it was good ground when Tazka beat some disappointing types at Fontwell in September. PRINCE LLYWELYN never looked like catching the first two on his chasing bow at Stratford but will have learned plenty that day and the winner of that race took a hot contest at Ascot on Saturday
