Verdict

An outstanding renewal that can see the mighty ALTIOR make it 16 wins from 17 starts over fences. He's 5-5 over C&D and should be raring to go after a recent racecourse gallop at Newbury. Paul Nicholls, seeking a stunning eleventh win in the first 2m Grade 1 of the season, has a very strong hand with the improving Greaneteen and 2017-winner Politologue.
