Unplaced in the four mile National Hunt Chase after previously winning the Grade Two Towton Novices' Chase at Wetherby in the colours of Diana and Graham Whateley, Kornati Kid looks a horse to keep on the right side this season. His game defeat of Will Be Done in the Towton highlighted both his tenacity and sound jumping and represented a step up on the form of his earlier chase starts, marking him down as a progressive sort. The Cheltenham run does him scant justice in terms of his worth, as he measured his fences well and travelled eyecatchingly into contention before patently failing to stay the extended trip. He appeals more than the majority of second season chasers as one who can build significantly on the achievements of his novice campaign and it will be a surprise if Philip Hobbs can't place him to advantage in the months to come.
