Garo De Juilley returns from a lay-off having finished a well beaten third at Taunton in December. Little Miss Poet disappointed at the same track last time but The Sweeney finished closer when placed at Sandown and could go well. Lets Go Dutchess won at Aintree last May while Secret Door and Bright Tomorrow have slid down the weights though look no nearer winning as of yet. But OSCARS LEADER finished behind higher rated horses than these when fourth in a novice hurdle last month and expected to improve now handicapping for the first time, Jo Davis’ charge gets a speculative vote.
