WILDE ABOUT OSCAR is a brother to bumper and hurdles winner Whiskey In The Jar and he made a very promising start at Southwell, despite running green, That experience could help him get the better of some nicely-bred newcomers including the Cloudings gelding Cronk Y Knox, who may need a bit further. Scarpia is the first foal to race of a winning hurdler while Allenby sports the famous Wheatley colours and is also jumps bred. Wireless Operator is closely related to the useful Good Boy Bobby with Tip Top Cat also worth a market check.
