Valco De Touzaine may do better back in juvenile company having been well beaten in a Sandown handicap last month. He'd gone close at the same track earlier while Knight Of Pleasure made a winning debut at Sandown but failed to figure in Grade 2 company at Cheltenham three weeks ago. Venetia Williams has won two of the last four renewals and ZAMDY MAN is taken to record another success having chased home the progressive Chris Pea Green at Huntingdon last week. Catterick winner Only Orsenfoolsies will find this much tougher but Veauce De Sivola made a promising debut at Newbury and is preferred to Kealshore Again.
