Formerly with Enda Bolger but now in the care of Jonjo O'Neill, It's Like That makes his debut in hunter chase-company today and is taken to overcome an absence of the best part of a year, getting the verdict ahead of Massimo and Silver Dollars. The last mentioned has been running well in point-to-points prior to an encouraging effort on his return to rules racing at Kempton last month and he has to be respected. The Tailor Carey ran an encouraging race behind Mr Tee Pee at Folkestone when last seen in February and makes more appeal than Highland Vasco, who has run creditably in points but disappointed on his only start under rules. Reflector came good in a point-to-point recently and has claims but more solid chances are held by Massimo, who has shown decent form in point-to-points and has to be considered on his return to hunter chase-company. It's Like That has solid claims though and he gets the vote.
