Saturday's Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase at Newbury offers a tricky punting conundrum and, with those at the top of the market looking tightly matched, it may be worth chancing an upset with SIZING TENNESSEE.

At 10, Colin Tizzard's gelding is the oldest horse in the field, and four years older than his shorter-priced stable companion Elegant Escape, but Tom Scudamore's mount progressed well over fences last season and a reappearance win at Fontwell in October, when he beat the dual subsequent winner Capeland, suggests he could still be going forward.

On other efforts last term, Sizing Tennessee is over-priced: but for falling two out at Cheltenham in October, he looked like beating Black Corton; he won over this trip on the same course in December, went down by a neck to Yanworth in January and then led Rathvinden and the re-opposing Ms Parfois going to the last at the Festival before patently failing to stay in the four-mile National Hunt Chase.

This shorter trip should bring the selection and Ms Parfois closer together, especially as the latter makes her reappearance (has tended to be better for a run in the past) and hails from a stable struggling for form.

So I suggest an each-way interest in this open, and possibly not vintage, renewal.
