Back In Front duly followed up his win in the Supreme Novices Hurdle with a comfortable long-odds success here. While not as extravagantly impressive as at Cheltenham, this was still a thoroughly professional performance by this six-year-old, who was always handily placed and quickened up to assert control without undue effort on the run to the last. |
