DON'T CALL ME OSCAR has really got the bit between his teeth and can win his fourth race in a short space of time giving weight to yet more modest opposition. Zero Visibility didn't really enjoy himself over fences at Bangor last month and should be happier over hurdles so rates the danger as he had Bobby Dove well behind when winning at Fontwell in November. Reyno and Stag Hill are both inconsistent while Tidestream has yet to show much in three runs for Tim Vaughan
