Off the track since suffering a well-publicised heart problem in the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton last Christmas, the seven-times Grade One-winning chaser was joined by stable companion Tanks For That for his return to the track.

Tanks For That, ridden by Sprinter Sacre’s normal work rider Nico de Boinville, predictably gave his illustrious stable companion a lead.
