PESCATORIUS is thriving under the expert tutelage of Olly Murphy and is fancied to defy a 7 lb weights rise for his Sedgefield success (form been franked) at the chief expense of in-form I Am Rocco, who could have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Former winner Caro des Flos goes well round here and could also have a say despite an 11-month absence.
Provided that her second-last fence departure at Ludlow last week hasn't left a mark, FORMEL PARK could be the answer. She delivered an otherwise competent round of jumping on that occasion and shades preference ahead of Independent Jimmy, who should benefit from this drop back in trip and the refitting of cheekpieces may also help. Conquer The Breeze is also entitled to respect.
