Verdict

Possibly the most diffiult 2m handicap chase to solve year on year and this looks no exception. Dandridge should again go very well, while Witness In Court is one to consider at a huge price. Nicky Henderson would love to win this again so Theinval should be bang there in first-time cheek pieces. Colin Tizzard has two particularly interesting contenders in Mick Thonic and Sizing Platinum, plus there is Eastlake who would take some beating if on a going day. However, the suggestion at an each-way price is one who has not won for some time, but whose profile coming into this is of one who might end that drought today and the hope is that THE GAME CHANGER can complete a stellar week for Gordon Elliott.
