THE ITALIAN FOX made short work of his 14 rivals over C&D last week and with further progress on the cards, Joe Tizzard's 6-y-o should take some stopping under a penalty (officially 7 lb 'well-in'). Groom de Cotte made an encouraging return considering he wasn't ideally placed at Huntingdon in November, so he's put forward as the main threat. At forecast longer odds, Dessie Haze could sneak into the placings.
