Verdict

SAVOY COURT looks likely to prove hard to beat despite a 10lb rise for his most recent victory and he can make it two from two in handicap company in this handicap hurdle. The selection represents a stable who come into this contest with a 23% strike-rate (5/22) in recent weeks and he can get the better of bottom weight Cougar Kid who is another to have tasted success last time. Watcombe Heights makes his debut for trainer Colin Tizzard today and he is taken to finish third.
