RACE SUMMARY
With the promise of better to come now handicapping off a realistic opening mark, TELHIMLISTEN is the most appealing of these He failed to get within touching distance of the winner when second in a Musselburgh novice last time but he wasn’t given a hard time and his theme is one of gradual race-by-race progress Silkstone and Lord Caprio, first and third respectively over C&D earlier this month, can fill the places 1-2-3:

RACE SUMMARY
The vote goes to ONESTEPATATIME, who improved over hurdles in the latter stages of last season and held every chance when falling 2 out off this mark on return/chase debut at Hexham. Provided she is none the worse for that mishap, the 7-y-o is entitled to progress in this sphere. Fiston du Mou is an obvious danger on the back of his C&D success earlier this month and he is feared most ahead of To Be Sure and Espoir Moriviere.
