Azzerti makes his handicap debut having won in maiden and novice company last season and goes on the short-list. Diable De Sivola had decent form in juvenile races last term, including a fifth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham in March. Dashing Oscar made a winning reappearance at Bangor last autumn and scored later at Sandown but Remiluc usually needs a run or two. CASPER KING is another who goes well fresh and he should be capable of further improvement this winter, especially when the ground turns soft. Philip Hobbs’ charge could be the pick of the weights today with Loverboy probably best watched after a very long absence.
