In depth
Verdict
SET LIST was second in a chase over 3m5f at this time last year so it was no surprise that he found 2m too short back over hurdles at Chepstow last month. He is potentially well treated over the smaller obstacles and could be the answer to this. General Allenby was a stayer on the Flat and the Kelso third is still largely unexposed over hurdles. Buster Moon is another with scope and stablemate Ballybough Nora has claims but 11-year-old Love The Leader returns from a break and Linguine hasn’t raced since last July.
