In depth

Verdict

Tzar De L'Elfe’s record over fences reads 1-25 but his sole victory to date came over course and distance at the end of 2019 and he races off the same mark today. Fizzlestix was a winner over track and trip last year and second here last month but MANOFTHEMOMENT was more like his old self at Fakenham last time and is another back on a winning mark. One Of Us is eased in grade and preferred to Churchtown Glen of the others.
