FLOS TO CLEAN UP FOR TIZZ

A LACK of strength in depth among hurdlers just below the top level presents decent opportunities for horses like VISION DES FLOS.

Colin Tizzard’s fiveyear-old has already plundered some place money in Newcastle’s Fighting Fifth and, while no match for Buveur D’Air and Samcro there, he had today’s rival Summerville Boy behind.

Form frequently works out in events such as this and Vision Des Flos knocks the eye out as an each-way steal.

BARON ALCO enjoyed the run of the race in last month’s BetVictor Gold Cup but that doesn’t mean he can’t double up.

He’s improved for his enforced layoff and there may be more to come this afternoon.
