Pole can prove a Star
But Newmarket handler James Fanshawe can, with the Champion Hurdle-winning exploits of Royal Gait and Hors La Loi III sitting comfortably alongside the dazzling performances of the likes of Soviet Song, Environment Friend and Frizzante.
He is always to be respected when he considers one suitable enough to make the switch from the level to a new career over obstacles, and may just have unearthed another ace in the shape of Pole Star.
A one-time smart Flat stayer, he has been rejuvenated by the switch to timber and can make it two wins from three starts with victory in the Fabulous Fakes Novices' Hurdle at Newbury today.
The seven-year-old features in the ante-post markets on the big novice hurdles at the Festival, which is not surprising.
First time out he went down by six lengths here to a certain Marcel no disgrace, as Martin Pipe's ace was much more experienced and has gone on to prove himself arguably the best novice seen out so far this term.
He stepped up in trip next time in a weak race at Doncaster and could hardly have been more impressive.
Everything he has done so far suggests he can make the grade in this sphere and he has to be followed.
See You Sometime can hardly be described as a star of the future at the age of 10. But he does have a touch of class and can atone for a recent mishap with a deserved success for Seamus Mullins in the CiSTM Racing Club Novices' Chase.
The Sharp Deal gelding came to grief at the third fence in an eventful Cheltenham race last time but previously had jumped well to account for My Will in a Grade Two contest at Windsor.
Mullins' charge has a whole host of other solid runs to his name including a close third to Vodka Bleu and Fundamentalist here in November and this should provide an ideal confidence-booster before a return to bigger things. He can give weight all round.
