Verdict
Sizing Cusimano has shown more than enough the last twice to suggest a maiden or novice hurdle is well within his grasp but even the receipt of 7lb from SETTIE HILL may not prove enough. The Henderson charge is the selected stable contender from an initial entry of four and is taken to back up a Southwell success when he was actually not overly impressive. However, he scored quite comfortably in the end but it's his previous run when an excellent Ascot second that sets a strong standard here. Point-to-point winner Out Of Style is preferred of the remaining pair.
