Lee Oswin gets on well with Sircozy and was on board when the latter scored over track and trip in February with Marie Deja La five lengths behind in second. Gary Moore's hurdler has been raised 10lb since then, however, and SANTERA is just preferred. The latter has been well beaten on her last two starts but, with her conditional's claim taken into account, Tony Carroll's charge can race off an 8lb lower mark than when fourth at Sandown earlier this year. Kuilsriver has similar claims having finished second over C&D last time and Drumshambo could prove best of the rest.
