hails from a yard that's going better now than for a long time and improved a bit more to win for a second time over fences; patiently ridden, crept closer back straight, chased leader entering straight, jumped on 3 out, in command after, pushed out; he's a likeable type and is developing into a useful chaser at around this trip, the sort that'll pay his way in his second season over fences, too.

was back down in trip and made to look short of finishing speed, though his jumping wasn't overly convincing, either, not really making mistakes but hardly that secure; held up, not always fluent, took closer order twelfth, shaken up 4 out, one paced.

is clumsy and will probably always be clumsy, some effort to actually stay on his feet given the severity of some of his mistakes in the closing stages; close up, jumped sketchily, weakened approaching 4 out; he's got the ability to win races from this sort of mark, but backing him to do so comes with considerable risks.

A couple of the market leaders failed to show their form on of jumping issues, but it's reasonable to assume Informateur found a bit of improvement to record his first win in a handicap chase, not for the first time impressing as a solid jumper.
