Verdict

Hurdles winner PRINCE QUATTRO went down narrowly on his handicap debut in this sphere over 1¾m at Southwell and, with further progress likely now taking a further step up in trip, he is taken to go one better off the same mark. Different Drum also went close on his latest appearance at Carlisle during the summer and he is second choice ahead of Educate and Zivaniya.

8	C&D winner. 6/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (17.2f, heavy) in July, suited by emphasis on stamina.

5	6/4, good second of 13 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 17 days ago, clear of rest.
