Race preview
Having won a bumper for his previous yard before scoring twice over hurdles and once over fences since joining Nicky Henderson, PEAKY BOY has proven to be versatile and rates a serious player. The son of Kayf Tara won readily over 2m4f on his seasonal return last month and could raise his game further over this longer trip. Haiti Couleurs is feared most off just 5lb higher than his comfortable win at Aintree latest. Transmission is another must for consideration.
