There is probably more quantity than quality on show in this finale but the senior runner Fact Flow did win at Chepstow last month and the former course winner stays this longer trip. Llancillo Lord is usually thereabouts in this grade but the former pointer hasn’t won in more than two years. Last month’s Exeter scorer STAY OUT OF COURT has been lightly raced for his age and looks the safest option as Montanna finished tailed off on his only previous try over the larger obstacles.
