Tinabianca has been beaten a very long way in two bumpers but Blazing Bolte showed much improved form when staying on nicely behind Arbeo in a Fontwell bumper though that was on heavy ground. SIRCOZY landed a maiden hurdle on fast ground at Huntingdon in August and this three-times all-weather winner has been found a nice opportunity by Gary Moore.
