Jockey Colours: Light blue, red braces, white sleeves, red armlets, light blue and red quartered cap Notes: Timeform says: Highly progressive chaser who looked very good when demolishing useful field in 2m Cheltenham handicap chase on return. Place claims, though wouldn't want any more rain. (Forecast 10.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: An outstanding renewal that can see the mighty ALTIOR make it 16 wins from 17 starts over fences. He's 5-5 over C&D and should be raring to go after a recent racecourse gallop at Newbury. Paul Nicholls, seeking a stunning eleventh win in the first 2m Grade 1 of the season, has a very strong hand with the improving Greaneteen and 2017-winner Politologue.
