SEINESATIONAL was no match for a nice prospect from the Nicholls yard at Kempton having been undone by a lack of experience earlier at Ascot but he has shown more than enough to suggest he should win races over hurdles. Tardree has won a point and a bumper and is better than he showed on his hurdles bow at Catterick. Gold Link took a big step forward when second to Confirmation Bias at Wincanton and bumper winner Restandbethankful is another with plenty of scope having finished second at Newbury in December when trying hurdles for the first time.
