Etamine Du Cochet is sure to be near the head of the betting given connections and the fact that he’s been lightly raced. But Tim Rocco could also go well given he is fit from the Flat and Uno Mas won off higher marks over hurdles. Going Mobile has scope but so does LUCK OF THE LEGION, who has probably fallen into the grip of the handicapper over timber so has his attention turned to fences.
