GREEN WADI is put forward ahead of Terrasini and Karky Schultz. A big run from Tuanku in the first division would boost the claims of the selection as Gary Moore's gelding was backed into favouritism to beat Alan King's runner at Plumpton. The mile and a half winner on the Flat was disappointing on that occasion but it would be no surprise to see him make sufficient progress to make amends here. Howard Johnson has his string in good order and he introduces the sixty rated Flat maiden Terrasini. He may prove more adept at hurdling and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of his chances. King Of Cadeaux is a rare runner over obstacles for his trainer and merits a second look in the betting ring but those with more obvious claims include Rock Me and Karky Schultz. The former has to concede weight all round having beaten Joshua at Ludlow and that will make him vulnerable to potential improvers which must include James Eustace's runner who shaped pleasingly at Kempton. The selection, though, is Green Wadi.
