QUIZ MASTER finally opened his account over timber when scoring at Fontwell last month. Colin Tizzard’s charge has been raised 8lb but won with a bit to spare and can confirm running with fifth-placed Burst Ya Bubble. Lex Talionis is getting closer and was narrowly beaten at Sandown recently but Innisfree Lad has gone up 5lb for finishing second at Huntingdon last time. Daytime Ahead and Stonemadforspeed are not badly treated on last year’s best efforts but both ran below par on their latest starts.
