Laurens Bay has Snowden Pondering His Options
Jamie Snowden hailed Laurens Bay's "best start" to chasing and he might make an instant step up in class next time out.
The six-year-old landed the valuable EBF Final at Sandown on his last appearance of the previous project and picked up where he ended at Uttoxeter previously this month.
It might have only been a two-horse race, however Laurens Bay jumped efficiently on his first start over fences and went out a seven-length winner to the pleasure of his Lambourn-based trainer.
The Mucking Brilliant Paddy Power Novices' Chase at Cheltenham in November might be next on his agenda however he might go down the handicap route, depending on his mark after his outstanding success.
"He's come out of it well, clearly an ideal start to his chasing after profession which is charming to see," Snowden said.
"He leapt truly well. You can't really distinguish a two-horse race, however he did it impressively and he's an interesting horse moving forward.

"We may think of that Listed novice at Cheltenham at the November Paddy Paddy meeting, or there is a Class Two at Exeter before that or the Graduation Chase at Haydock. There are a number of alternatives.
"It all depends upon where he winds up with his handicap mark, whether he ends up in a graded novice or whether he goes down the handicap route. There's clearly plenty of water to pass under the bridge in advance."
Ga Law has actually been a terrific servant to Snowden and the nine-year-old will step up to 3 miles for the upcoming season.
He will be in action on November 1, but the Folly House handler has yet to choose whether to travel to Wetherby for the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase or throughout the Irish Sea for the Grade One BetVictor Champion Chase at Down Royal.
