Verdict
Cautious Optimism has the highest rating of these but that's not a great recommendation, though he did manage a place last time at Ffos Las last time in a similarly dire contest. Assisted started favourite for a handicap at Ayr last month but was beaten almost 30 lengths. THELLO didn't get much of a run last time at Nottingham. He won a couple of times on the all-weather over the winter and should be up to landing this as Chorus Of Lies isn't getting any better.
