The three to look out for in this juvenile are Kickahead, Compton Quay and Patman Du Charmil with the vote going to the last named. Trained by inform Nigel Twiston-Davies Patman Du Charmil won first time of asking over hurdles at Uttoxeter when getting the better of Gardasee. He was no match for Fair Along at Cheltenham since then but this is a big drop in grade and connections must be looking forward to a big run. Of his rivals the newcomer Kickahead looks interesting. He was bred in the in States and on his breeding looks a likely type so is worth noting in the market. As is Compton Quay who has the best form of the remainder having had plenty of experience without getting his head in front but has some decent place form. But for the winner we return to Patman Du Charmil.
