somewhat surprisingly switched back hurdles considering how well he had taken to chasing, fully vindicated that decision to open his account in Graded company; chased leaders, led on bridle after 3 out, tackled between last 2, found plenty; reportedly remains on course for the RSA at the Cheltenham Festival, a race for which he was cut to as low as 7/2 in the ante-post market in the immediate aftermath of this performance.

An up-to-scratch renewal of this Grade 2 and it was won impressively by one who has been plying his trade over fences of late, Presenting Percy proving that he remains a force to be reckoned with over timber; the pace was fair but the emphasis was firmly on stamina.
