      Verdict

      It could pay to stick with FIDELIO VALLIS now handicapping. Paul Nicholls’ charge has won his last two starts over fences with the minimum of fuss and the fast ground suits. Topofthecotswolds returns to chasing with a shout after falling early on at Aintree last month while Shut The Box is upped in class after winning at Newbury. It was testing going when Numitor landed a double earlier and Peterborough remains 8lb higher than when last successful
