WILLOW'S SAVIOUR was no match for Ar Mad and Bristol De Mai in a Grade 1 at Sandown last time but should have few problems here against only two rivals. Stablemate Lovefromabove may do better now switched to fences as he's already been placed in a point-to-point but Larteta has not managed to win over the larger obstacles in 12 attempts and was tailed off on his only start since July here in November.
