TORNEO has shaped well when runner-up in similar contests the last twice and is narrowly preferred to Largy Force, who made a promising start to her chase career at Hereford but may not really come into her own over fences until faced with stiffer tests of stamina than this. Harry Derham's Any Biscuits should also have a part to play if taking to fences at the first time of asking.
