This looks a good opportunity for FOX NORTON to make amends for his defeat in the Champion Chase. He looked the likely winner coming up the hill but was just touched off by Special Tiara who re-opposes here but isn't getting any younger and was in all honesty slightly lucky to win that Championship race where the long odds-on favourite disappointed. Instead, Cloudy Dream, who has been rerouted here following a declaration error, may provide the main danger given the way he progressed last year.
