OTAGE DE BRION should take this race en- route to better things. A facile winner of a modest race at Plumpton, he was sent of a crazy price to follow up after a break when upped in class next time. Connections upped him in class again next time where he finished 6.5 lengths behind SONG OF SONGS after a last fence blunder. The winner is Cheltenham bound. It is a shame he fell next time as he was ahead of CELESTIAL HALO and not far behind SENRTY DUTY - both leading festival contenders. Although this big sort will make a nice chaser in time, class should out here and he is fancied to beat TAMPA BAY here for his in-form stable.
