Verdict
A Grade 2 winner over hurdles, Mister Fisher represents last year’s winning yard and debuts over fences on his first outing since May. Torpillo won over timber at Chepstow on his reappearance and ran well again at Cheltenham last month but LISP is just preferred. The latter wasn’t far behind subsequent Grade 3 runner-up Gumball when fourth at Ascot on his recent comeback and Alan King’s charge is taken to make a winning start over fences. Not That Fuisse has placed in both starts over the larger obstacles though has plenty to find on these terms as does Geneva Barracks.
