Surprise Us would be a surprise winner of this but the other three could be nice chasing prospects. Turn Over Sivola finally got off the mark over fences at the eighth attempt but wasn't winning out of turn having chased home some smart handicappers previously. He has the edge in experience but also 5lb extra and Little Jon and SOLAR IMPULSE will be tough opponents if they jump with any fluency. The former ended last season in Grade 3 company over timber but is still a maiden, which is a worry. Preference is for the latter, who gets all the allowances and was also highly tried in the main last season.
