RACE SUMMARY:
Irish-challenger VAUCELET teed himself up perfectly for this when runner-up at Punchestown and this very useful chaser can add to his previous C&D success at the chief expense of Bob And Co, who was still travelling well when falling three out at Cheltenham and rates a big threat if none the worse for that late exit. Not That Fuisse is another weighted to have a say in his bid for a four timer.
