Verdict

Much has been made of this Grade One race attracting just three runners but that is testament to the fact that ALTIOR has basically beaten all in front of him in the division and usually with the minimum of fuss. Nicky Henderson's superstar arguably hasn't received the credit he deserves with few yet considering him alongside his illustrious stablemate Sprinter Sacre for example but there is no doubt he is already a true great and he is expected to extend his winning run with ease. Fox Norton is smart in his own right and despite the layoff he should get second given he's rated 11lb better than Diego Du Charmil.
