In depth
Verdict
What A Moment has been eased in the weights again since his third at Wincanton but both chase wins have come at Cheltenham and he’s been difficult to train in recent years. The Lion Dancer is a law unto himself but he was in the mood last time at Chepstow and could easily win again if switchback track retains his interest. SUMMIT LIKE HERBIE looks a more reliable proposition, however, even though he is still 6lb higher than when scoring at Doncaster a year ago and has had a break since his second at Southwell in November.
