Organisateur has won three of his four races for Paul Nicholls by a combined total of 37 lengths but his defeat by Astaracad in a handicap on his seasonal return suggests that he has his limitations and preference is for DUNRAVEN STORM. He showed a decent level of form in bumpers prior to a disappointing run in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham where he struggled to go the pace. He may prove to be vulnerable over the minimum trip as he steps up in class but he's fancied to get away with it here following an entirely satisfactory start at Exeter. Fiulin ran a blinder to finish in midfield in the Supreme Novices' but may prove to be vulnerable to something above average whilst this represents a step up for Recession Proof.
