Verdict
Successful twice on the all-weather, Torbellino hasn’t really threatened so far over hurdles. Wells Glory has been well beaten in his two runs over timber but Suzi Best also saddles Good Time Ahead, who wasn’t beaten far at Fontwell in February and is weighted to reverse that form with the runner-up C'est Quelqu'un. TOMMY DILLION was ahead of Sami Bear here last month and placed again at Fontwell last time when given plenty to do. He is probably on a decent mark at present and gets 5lb from Mickyh, who carries a penalty for his Stratford success.
