This is little better than a seller so Descaro should feel right at home, though his rider lacks relative experience. Maid Of Tuscany and Grams And Ounces have the past form to figure but No No Cardinal seems better over fences. Cabin Fever needs more while Umoristic was a bit disappointing last time and has become unreliable. Vexillum has been in decent form on the Flat lately but we'll take a chance on MOUNT VESUVIUS, who likes sharp tracks and is a previous course and distance winner. He was pulled up last time but may have needed that run after a break and is fairly treated on an earlier second at Newton Abbot.
