Verdict

OZETA, winner of a Listed contest at Auteuil last September for Elie Lellouche, was set a stiff task on her debut for Nicky Henderson at Cheltenham. The filly was far from disgraced in finishing fifth to Hinterland, however, only weakening at the last and she's been given plenty of time to get over her exertions. This should be within her range. Fire Fighter had Edgware Road back in third and Marie Des Anges further behind when getting off the mark at Warwick, but he may not come into his own until tackling longer trips while Ludlow second Corsican Boy and Chepstow scorer Mattoral need to improve significantly to figure here. Kapga De Cerisy has his sights lowered after finishing fourth in the Finale at Chepstow and can't be ignored however.
