Verdict

BALLYALTON put in a pleasing effort when fourth at Cheltenham last time and he can provide in form trainer Ian Williams with a winner in a highly competitive renewal of this Topham Handicap Chase. Sam Waley-Cohen has a good record over these fences and he is taken to finish runner-up on Theatre Territory who has been running well in defeat since joining Warren Greatrex's yard while last years winner Ultragold who seems to save his best for these fences can claim third ahead of O O Seven and the ex-French gelding Polidam.
  1. Ballyalton
  2. Theatre Territory
  3. Ultragold
