Verdict
Tip Top Mountain seeks back-to-back victories in this. He is 10lb higher than last year but arrives off the back of a third win over fences at Fontwell so is much respected. SUBLIME HEIGHTS beat En Coeur by eight lengths here two runs ago but was never travelling when pulled up next time at Southwell. Blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces today and he has handled soft ground in the past. Rostello has slipped back to a decent mark so can’t be discounted with Le Coeur Net possibly best of the rest, though Extraordinary Man may make a better chaser than hurdler.
