Gustavian will probably be a short-priced favourite after a staying-on second at Chepstow but there was also plenty of promise in MARIO DE PAIL’s run behind subsequent hurdles winner Induno here last month and his colours are often seen in the winner’s enclosure here. Capricia kept on for pressure at Ludlow and Getaround has won a point. Onetwotree is a half-brother to three jumps winners so any market support for Evan Williams’ newcomer should be heeded.
