Get Me Out Here's chances of lining up here rather than in a handicap took a turn for the better after the handicapper whacked him up 15lbs for his latest win which means he is now rated 150 - a mark that disappointed Jonjo O'Neill which could suggest they will stick to a novice race rather than run off that mark.

Given he is officially rated 150, that means he is already good enough to win this race as Go Native was given a mark of 147 when winning this race last season. Oscar Whisky won his final prep race at Sandown very comfortably to set himself for this race alongside the same stable's Bellvano.

However, Menorah, who was expected to do likewise in his final prep-race was beaten at Ascot by Lush Life who I doubt Henderson rates in his top half a dozen novice hurdlers. I didn't think it was a great ride from Richard Johnson as he was slow in realising he had a challenger on the run-in after he got the last flight wrong and lost his momentum. Menorah just races with the choke out a little too much for me and as far as winning a Supreme Novices' Hurdle is concerned.
