Cosheston looks best of those with experience despite a modest return to action as he'd earlier finished third at Carlisle on his racecourse debut. Allonok was tailed off at Chepstow on his introduction and Camlad Kingfisher faded badly in the closing stages on his debut back in May. Roque It's dam comes from a family of jumps winners and he could go well but fellow newcomer WELSH SAINT cost €105,000 as a brother to the high-class hurdler and chaser Irish Saint and Nicky Henderson's charge may prove good enough to make a winning start.
