Verdict

Havingotascoobydo was well backed for a competitive handicap over fences at Cheltenham on New Year's Day but was an early faller. He's rated 9lb lower over hurdles but may find himself outpaced by some of these. It was good to see veteran Afsoun return to winning ways at Newcastle while Alarazi was only beaten half-a-length when third at Ascot last time and appears to hold Ciceron on that run. He is 4lb higher here, however, as is Higgy's Ragazzo who was runner-up to stablemate Lifestyle at Kempton 11 days ago. Ruby Walsh is an interesting booking for northern raider Attaglance but there promises to be a fast pace in this finale and that should suit COTILLION, who was third over 2m4f here on his penultimate start before disappointing at Aintree. He's had a month off to recover from those exertions and deserves another chance.
