It may be worth sticking with UNISON in this as he made a winning start over timber in a higher grade at Wincanton and clearly has no issue with give in the ground. One Style is a bit more exposed but looks the danger after only finding one too good at Stratford last month. Satellite would have wiped the floor with these on the Flat but he stopped very quickly when making his hurdling debut at Catterick in January and hasn't been seen since. He may be more effective when the quicker ground arrives.
