Verdict

Triopas has won four times over hurdles but shown little so far over fences. Findusatgorcombe is looking a little exposed and is still 7lb higher than when successful last summer at Fontwell but the lightly-raced Tigeralley might benefit from a switch to the larger obstacles. Colin Tizzard sent out last year’s winner and LIZZIE LANGTON clearly likes it here. She won over a longer trip at the track in December and was staying on over course and distance last month in what was a better race.
