Kusadasi has only made the frame once in nine previous starts over fences but made all over hurdles at Uttoxeter eight days ago under a well-judged ride from Tom Scudamore and front-running tactics are likely to be employed again in this. But winning pointer THE GOLDMEISTER probably has more scope and gets the nod receiving 4lb from the top weight - his yard has been in good form of late. Diamond Eclipse has had plenty of chances and has become frustrating so Stratford runner-up Mr Robinson looks the pick of the remainder, despite a 5lb higher mark.
