Verdict
Tealissio will be fancied here on the basis on his recent second at Southwell. He finally seems to be getting the hang of jumping hurdles but ULYS DU CHARMIL has more scope and gets the nod. Choc Thornton partners the French import in preference to Flat winner Compton Blue and he may stay on too strongly for the more exposed Unex Degas and Uttoxeter second River Purple, who probably needs further.
