OHIO GOLD's eighth behind First Lieutenant in a Grade 1 novice event at Cheltenham in March is the stand out piece of form. Colin Tizzard's charge hasn't run to that level in a couple of starts so far this season, but it's only a matter of time before he's winning one of these and it could be today. Joseph Lister finished second at Ludlow on his hurdling debut and he can figure, while Raifteiri and Trip The Light both advertised their claims when finishing third at Uttoxeter and Leicester respectively on their latest outings. Capisci unseated last time but his earlier efforts in Ireland give him a shout.
