A straightforward task for Greaneteen, who is clearly one of the more promising novice chasers seen in Britain this season.

GREANETEEN (FR) completed the hat-trick, fully confirming the positive impressions of his first 2 starts over fences, doing it from the front this time; made all, jumped fluently, travelled strongly, drew clear before last, impressive; he's a graded performer in the making, and would be a lively outsider if taking in the Arkle, though he also appeals as an ideal type for Aintree if connections decide to by the Cheltenham Festival.

CHAMPAGNE MYSTERY (IRE) isn't progressing over fences at present though hasn't had an ideal set-up since winning at Aintree, finding this test inadequate, and he may yet to better back on a more galloping track, also having the option of going back down the handicap route; held up, ridden after 5 out, went second last, no impression on winner.

ESKENDASH (USA) faced a stiff task and ran as well as could be expected; chased leader, untidy 4 out, pushed along after 2 out, lost second last, no extra.
