In depth
Verdict
Though 0-11 over fences, BIG DIFFERENCE had a nice confidence-booster over hurdles earlier this month and is starting to look very well handicapped over the larger obstacles. Faustinovick hasn’t fired this season while Mister Tickle returns from a break but did rattle-up a hat-trick in the autumn. Ashfield Paddy is on a long losing run and has to concede weight all round again while Bretney is still 10lb higher than for his only victory to date.
