In depth

Verdict

Sebastiano is better known as a chaser nowadays and made little impression behind Alph here on his latest start. Just Beware, another C&D winner, has been in better form but was well beaten off a lower mark at Folkestone last time so it's difficult to get away from OSCAR PRAIRIE. Warren Greatrex's gelding probably didn't beat much at Folkestone in November but won with the minimum of fuss and, given that was only his fifth start over timber, he's probably open to more improvement than today's rivals.
