Paintball Wizard was beaten 10 lengths in a small field at Nottingham in the autumn but possibly has more scope than the majority of these. QUE QUIERES is an all-weather specialist but a very solid record around here. He is likely to be more forward than most so gets the nod, though winning hurdler Waterproof could be a danger as he has placed here. Norab has also had a decent career over timber but the handicapper is probably in charge at present on the Flat.
