Verdict

FONTAINE COLLONGES was better than ever when too strong for Monbeg Genius at Haydock and can add to the haul of valuable chase wins for Venetia Williams this winter. Iwilldoit's good record fresh and in this race makes him a possible threat with Callum Pritchard taking 7 lb off. His stablemate Jubilee Express has a very different profile as a lightly-raced 7-y-o but he looks progressive and this has likely been the target for a while. Gordon Elliott's Where It All Began completes the shortlist.
