And while Sheehan might be on the stablemate, championship leader Sean Bowen would not be taking the ride on Super Survivor unless he knew the horse was fit enough to do himself justice.
Those are much better races than the small-field events at Catterick that Git Maker won in January. The latter ran three times over fences last season, finishing second behind the classy Fern Hill at Uttoxeter, reeling in Mister Coffey to win at Chepstow on Welsh Grand National day and returning to Uttoxeter on Midlands National day, when he was not disgraced in third over three miles. Gavin Sheehan presumably had the choice given that he rode both last season, and has chosen Git Maker, but stablemate SUPER SURVIVOR has much better form. Plenty is likely to be made of the jockey bookings. Jamie Snowden sends two of his more interesting staying novice chasers from last season to contest this 2m 7½f intermediate event at Lingfield.
