Verdict

The presence of Elegant Escape makes this a better renewal than last year, when his trainer Colin Tizzard won the race for a second time in three years, on that occasion with Sizing Tennessee. His topweight looks to have a tremendous chance again, but the trainer can lift the prize this time with ROBINSFIRTH. Proven in tough handicaps, he goes well fresh and his trainer should have him cherry ripe for his first start after wind surgery. Joe Farrell should relish this sort of test, while the unexposed Ok Corral and On The Blind Side look the pick of the Henderson team. Daklondike, Two Taffs, The Conditional, Borice and Cabaret Queen are others of interest in a handicap to savour.
  1. Robinsfirth
  2. Two Taffs
  3. Elegant Escape
