Verdict
Le Frank is out of an unraced mare from a high-class family of chasers while Uluroo is a half-brother to several useful chasers in France and is one to watch for the future. Easter Mytton's dam is bred for the Flat but Niceandeasy is a half-brother to a winning bumper/hurdler. Rusty is also Flat-bred being by the sprinter Dream Ahead so the vote in a tricky contest goes to SULTANS PRIDE. He's a brother to a winning bumper/hurdler and a half-brother to four other winners and his dam also won on the Flat.
