Verdict

POLITOLOGUE is likely to be far too good for a sole rival receiving 4lb. He is a leading fancy for next month’s JLT Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham having made a bold bid to give weight to the smart Waiting Patiently in a Grade 2 at Haydock last month when attempting a hat-trick. Pain Au Chocolat won twice last season but has not reproduced that form so far this campaign.
