Irish Octave is 3-4 around here but it would be a tremendous training achievement by Rosemary Gasson to have him fully primed on his first run since January of last year. For Jim had been in good form prior to failing to stay 4m at Hexham and Enrichissant would have a chance if in the mood. Clondaw Promise won over 2m4f at Lingfield but stays 3m and a case can also be made for the returning Red Lion Lad and the equally-unexposed Miss Jeanne Moon. MILLE SUSSURRI (NAP) jumped well and finished clear of the rest when coming up against a subsequent easy winner at Hereford on his chasing bow. Dropped a pound since, he can go one better today.
