Cervaro Mix made a winning start over fences over a slightly longer trip here in May and there should be more to come this season. Master Work placed twice over the larger obstacles last season and should be winning soon while Salto Chisco has a decent strike-rate in chases and won at Bangor and Newton Abbot in August. DAREBIN appeals as the type to go well fresh and can improve on his third in this last year as he does best when allowed to dominate small fields.
