Mr Pointment's win in the Becher Chase was a very impressive performance because he was having only his fifth race over fences. However, that lack of experience wasn't apparent in the Becher Chase race, for he jumped really well and, going on from the sixth, made the rest and stuck on well when challenged after the last. Only lightly raced, he should have plenty of improvement in him, and, though yet to tackle extreme trips, he got this 3m2f well and looks every inch a potential Grand National type.
Paul Nicholls was disappointed with the heavy weight he was given for the Grand National as he knows that any horse with a weight over 11 stone is going to be a tall order.
