Ben Hutton selects Hold The Note to make a difference in the Tote Ten To Follow

Two who have to go in are Envoi Allen and Shishkin. Without them it could be an impossible mission, and if for any reason they flop you are simply in the same boat as pretty much everybody else.

Another 'template' pick is Epatante, who can also be fancied to accumulate lots of points.

Hold The Note is an interesting outsider in the Ladbrokes Trophy in the expectation he will improve a bundle for his seasonal reappearance, while Clondaw Caitlin's novice hurdle form reads extremely well and she made an encouraging chase debut at Cheltenham.
