Verdict
Winningtry runs in the Trevor Hemmings' colours and represents Paul Nicholls so will have his supporters in this finale. But we're more interested in I'M A GAME CHANGER, who has plenty of speed in his pedigree but is also a half-brother to two winning jumpers including useful Irish chaser Marlbrook. Waterloo Warrior, a son of Kalanisi, looks a nice long-term project for Colin Tizzard while Hardrock Davis' half-sister Tambourine Davis won twice over timber.
