In a division where the absent Altior and Douvan make most of the headlines
FOX NORTON has quietly gone about establishing himself as one of the best horses in training. Colin Tizzard's improver deserves mentioning in the same conversation now given his form in the last 12 months and he can add another Grade One here. The danger is Paul Nicholls'
Politologue who looked better than ever at Exeter and he had several of these rivals behind that day. Fellow second-season chaser
Charbel was giving the mighty Altior a race at Cheltenham so he can't be taken lightly now back to chasing after having his prep for this over hurdles.
