Colin Tizzard runs two with a live chance in this. CUCKLINGTON (NAP) scored here in November and won over track and trip on his latest start. There looks more to come from him and he’s just preferred to stablemate The Cider Maker, who went close over hurdles recently and has won off a similar mark over fences in the past. Invicta Lake also has claims on his second at Kempton and can race off the same mark today while General Girling was narrowly beaten over track and trip on his penultimate start. Sonoftheking won at Exeter in November but has struggled since.
