16:55 Professor Caroline Tisdall Supports Heroic Jumpers Veterans' Handicap Chase

Race preview

ON TOUR is only 1lb higher than when denied by a neck in this 12 months ago and Evan Williams' 12-year-old, who can run well fresh, returns to his usual starting point hoping to make another bold bid. Joe Farrell was third on that occasion and is off the same rating here having performed with credit in the Midlands Grand National when last seen. Theatre Guide is part of a two-pronged assault from Colin Tizzard alongside Pingshou, with the former a place ahead of the selection when they finished third and fourth in Sandown's feature contest for the veterans in January. He can't be ignored here, while two-time Cheltenham Festival winner Don Poli also deserves a mention and could prove extremely well treated off a mark of 132 if fully firing and on good terms with himself.
