Verdict

Two trainers Paul Nicholls and Colin Tizzard have taken the past four runnings of this between them and it may well be the former who scores again this year with his new addition to the stable DJINGLE who despite having to give weight to all has the class to win this. Vision Des Flos has had some wind surgery since he flopped as a long odds-on shot last time out and could well do better although Mercenaire with his C&D form looks to be the main danger. Solo Saxophone isn’t out of place here but this is a stiffer task that he’s faced over hurdles so far.
