Verdict
Paul Nicholls is looking to win this for the fourth time in succession but Tagrita offered little encouragement when tailed off at Kempton last time, though Harry Cobden's 7lb allowance helps her out in this. CADOUDOFF makes more appeal arriving on the back of a win over fences at Huntingdon. Only 2lb higher back over hurdles, he went close here last season off today's mark. Oscarteea will be more at home in this lower grade having been well beaten at Cheltenham last time and Queen Of The Stage is another expected to finish closer today as she also drops down in class with a recent comeback run under her belt.
