Another cracking contest and, while it would be churlish to write-off the other trio, it should lay between Fox Norton and ALTIOR. The former has had a break since his sole start for Colin Tizzard, who reports him to be in fine fettle and on course for Cheltenham. However, he will have to be cherry ripe and some to be good enough to lower the colours of the brilliant Nicky Henderson-trained seven-year-old when giving him 5lb. Traffic Fluide has more than half a chance at these weights, but first of all he has to prove his well being after a lack of recent action.
