This is Peej’s Grand National hope as trainer Ben Pauling has said the horse that as his only target this season. He has been a late developer, running moderately until getting off the mark at the 11th time of asking when winning a 3m handicap chase at Exeter in March 2015 by 4l from Buddy Love. He has been very consistent since, finishing 2nd at Haydock a month later in a 2m5f handicap chase, beaten 6l by Hollow Blue Sky. The saddle broke on his next run at Sandown , but he improved to win at Newbury last December, taking the Mandarin handicap chase over 3m 1f by ¾ l from Amidon, and followed up at Kempton in February this year winning another 3m handicap chase by 2 ¼ l from A Good Skin, then ran a solid 3rd at the Cheltenham festival in the 3m 2f handicap chase, beaten 12 l by Cause of Causes. Currently rated only 139 he needs to up the weights to get in the National and the plan is to go for the Beecher chase at Aintree in December. Given he needs to win wherever he runs next, he will be worth an interest.
