Harry Tricker has six career victories to his credit including two over fences, the latest which he got in the stewards' room. With most of these rivals better known as chasers or hurdlers, he can make a bold bid to continue his winning ways. County Handicap Hurdle winner American Trilogy has fallen on his two latest starts and this should provide a confidence boost. He won three times on the Flat in France and is very much one to consider. WORKING TITLE is beginning to pay his way over fences after winning four times over hurdles. He made a successful racecourse debut in a Uttoxeter bumper in 2007 and, though that was a long time ago, he has retained enough of his pace to take this.
