Going: Heavy
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
With trainer Paul Nicholls winning two of the last six renewals and his horses coming back to form, we may see a big effort from Il Ridoto here. He seemed to get bogged down on heavy going when third at Lingfield in January, but may find these conditions are far more suitable. Editeur Du Gite is looking for a Cheltenham hat-trick after wins here in November and December when setting the early pace, and he is entitled to go well despite an added 6lb from the handicapper for his latest success, but ELIXIR DE NUTZ could surprise them all. An easy winner over further at Kempton last month, he won't be stopping up the hill and could go well for a yard in great form.
