Casino Markets is two from two around here and has been set some stiff tasks over the last 12 months. He’s approaching a decent mark and a revival is not out of the question but VOIX D’EAU finished ahead of him at Cheltenham last month and looked to be back on song at Southwell recently so gets the nod. Diable De Sivola and Marquis Of Carabas would both have a chance on their best form while Conna Cross has won two of his three starts over fences. I'dliketheoption goes well fresh but Newton Geronimo may need the run, though has won here over hurdles.
