Out of a fairly useful Irish chaser; joined Paul Nicholls after huge-margin win on Irish point debut in October (soft ground) and is a general 16-1 shot for next month's Cheltenham Festival bumper; fascinating to see how he fares on today's rules debut.

Teeshan

11st 7lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Paul Nicholls

Has a Festival scorer in the family with the dam a distant relation of Mildmay of Flete winner Young Spartacus; some feat to win his Irish point by 41l and it was again a walk in the park in his bumper at Exeter (heavy); plenty of today's opposition would have won that weak race in the same manner but he has a strikingly similar profile to Captain Teague who finished third in this last year for the same connections; his trainer, who has had horses placed in this race but never won it, describes him as a sharper type than stablemate Quebecois.

Soundly beaten in two point bumpers last spring but looked a different horse when coming from a long way off the pace to win easily by 15l over jumps at Larkhill (3m, good to soft) in December; sure to be moving back up in trip in due course but no surprise if he features on this rules debut.

He's finished fourth on both hurdle starts and isn't obviously well treated for his handicap debut, but this point (3m) and bumper winner is from a staying family his trainer has done very well with and he could relish the step up in trip; interesting, especially if well backed.

Placed on first two hurdling starts (1m7f/2m) and displayed improvement when upped to 2m3f for recent handicap debut at Bangor, where he travelled strongly before asserting on the run-in; moves up from Class 5 today but seems versatile ground-wise and probably still has more improvement to come.
