    Verdict

    Changing The Guard has won three times over fences though hasn’t raced over the larger obstacles since 2014. THEATRE MILL has a more recent chasing success and is 5lb higher than when scoring at Southwell in September. He’s preferred to Authorized Too but Lautaret, an import from France, may prove a bigger threat on his debut for new connections having placed on a couple of occasions over fences earlier in the year.
