Good opportunity for progressive Remiluc to get off the mark

Chris Gordon’s Remiluc must take all the beating in division two of the “Bulldog Chase” Novices’ Hurdle at Taunton today.

He took a massive step forward on anything he had shown previously when chasing home a smart sort last time out and with that run under his belt for confidence, he can be expected to come forward again.

He was beaten two and a half lengths by Paul Nicholls’ Vago Collonges, who franked the form in no uncertain terms when looking all over the winner of a Grade Two event at Cheltenham on Saturday before being worn down close home.
