Paul Nicholls ended the jumps season in cracking form and the useful STRATAGEM can provide the yard with another winner here. Ami Desbois had been banging his head against the wall in some good handicap chases in recent years but showed he can be a force in hunters when scoring at Newbury this month and can give the selection most to do ahead of Cousin Pascal.
