Colin Tizzard has his horses going well and took the penultimate running of this in 2014. He is doubly represented with The Russian Doyen looking the stable's main hope. He is one of many interesting hurdling debutants in this and has a fitness advantage over many. His last run indicated he may need further than this and preference is for the Nicholls' newcomer ATAGUISEAMIX. The four-year-old was heavily backed on his point-to-point debut and has joined a yard whose novice hurdlers here have to be respected. Run To Milan looks a real chasing type yet proved good enough to cross the line in front on his bumper debut. He is clearly useful, whilst Warthog and Shivermetimbers are others to consider in an intriguing contest.
