Verdict
Todareistodo is interesting back over fences as he's been in fair form over hurdles. Gorgehous Liliege has a penalty for last week's victory here over a longer trip but is another with obvious claims while Truckers Benefit would probably be thereabouts with a clear round. Two of IRISH GUARD's three wins over fences have come here. He's sure to strip fitter for a recent comeback and, as he normally takes on stronger opposition than this, he gets a tentative vote at what could prove generous odds as Royale Knight looks to be in the handicapper's grip now.
