This one could be one to follow.

OSCAR NOMINEE
Track Oscar Nominee View form
5-y-o; bay gelding
Breeding: Old Vic (UK) - Native Bid (IRE)
Trained by N J Henderson
Form: 9-81313
Two-mile novice hurdle winner that looked better when moving up in trip to two miles five and finishing half length third to Attaglance in conditional jockeys' handicap at Cheltenham in March. Now 4lb higher at 139. “Just a couple of weeks behind the others but coming along well and will go novice chasing. I think he’ll be very good because he’s much bigger and stronger now.”

Dom Alco's in the spotlight lately ..Paul Nicholls likes them " all they will do is improve" or something like that he said. Top rated on BHA site ( sorted by chase rating) might be worth looking out for some of these

The Sire Old Vic has had one of his progeny in the first four in each of the last five Grand National's. A winner in 2008 (Comply Or Die), his bloodline followed up with a second in 2009 (Comply Or Die), another win and a 2nd in 2010 (Don't Push It/Black Apalachi), with Don't Push It finishing third in 2011 and Sunnyhillboy finishing agonisingly 2nd last year.

Old Vic Progeny Entered In 2013 - Ninetieth Minute, Sunnyhillboy and Join Together.
