Along with Statuario, long-standing maiden Admiral's Sunset had a rear view of Darling Du Large at Newton Abbot. That was on heavy ground but Tom George’s novice looks capable of confirming the form. Jamacho likes it here but makes his chasing debut having won a hurdle on Jersey when last seen. ELIOS D’OR was far too keen when odds-on at Worcester and failed to last home. He can recoup losses here if Harry Cobden can get him to settle.
