Classic Maestro
Battled on well to win gruelling contest here (2m4f, good) in April; that form is treated with a degree of caution but he's only 2lb higher today and this shorter trip on forecast slower ground will suit.

From the connections
“There were no hiding places and Classic Maestro is all heart. He's run some fantastic races this season and deserved to get his head in front. That's it for him now, but we're hoping at some stage we might take him over the National fences. It could be something nice to look at in November - Alan O'Keeffe, partner and assistant to winning trainer Jennie Candlish.”
“On form, Classic Maestro should have done that. It's a shame only two turned up, but his jumping was foot-perfect. He's kept improving and there should be more to come. We'll freshen him up for a couple of weeks, but he loves heavy ground and we'll have to make use of that. He should get further and can step up to two and a half miles - Alan O'Keeffe, assistant trainer.”
