COCKNEY TRUCKER only faded after the last when sixth to L'Accordioniste at Cheltenham earlier this month and has nothing to fear from Hunterview on that run. The sharper track should favour this habitual front-runner and he may be capable of conceding weight all round. A stiffer test would probably suit Olofi but he had old rival George Nympton well behind at Chepstow in October and there hasn't been much wrong with a couple of subsequent efforts in better company. Super Kenny made a promising reappearance at Newbury but the form of that race is questionable and just as interesting is Sircozy, who found only Cheshire Prince too strong when making his handicap bow at Sandown.
