Verdict
Unex Picasso's recent fourth to Cuban Piece at Bangor is just about the best form on offer here but that's hardly a glowing endorsement. Rasam Aldaar ran his best race so far over timber at Sandown last time but Refusal and Wild Hysteria appear very modest. Bodie has been placed a couple of times on the Polytrack but LOUXOR DES MOTTES, who won over 1m6f on the Flat in the French provinces in June, probably has more scope and can make a winning debut over timber.
