Event Of Sivola is yet to win in this country and will have stamina to prove, though has been largely consistent over shorter trips. Lord Brendy has plenty of stamina and could figure if fully primed on his return with a similar comment applying to Sigurd but Burning Issues is becoming increasingly difficult to catch right. For Jim is starting to look well treated and Bobmahley has placed in both starts so far over fences but a visor could help ECOSSAIS record a first victory for Oliver Greenall as the French import looked to have benefited from wind surgery when fifth at Cheltenham.
