HAVING twice won over hurdles CAP DU MATHAN (3.45) has steadily improved this season since taking to the bigger obstacles.
After placed efforts at Wincanton and Hereford the eight-year-old scored his first chase victory in a novice handicap at Taunton in January, with a comfortable two-and-a-half-length success over Earth Company.
Paul Nicholls’ charge then followed up at Exeter 17 days ago in a 2m 3f novice chase, this time beating the odds-on favourite Lac De Constance by an effortless 17 lengths. He jumps well and can complete the hat-trick in the John Romans Park Homes Handicap Chase over an extra furlong.
