Verdict
The Pipe pair Kolisi and Titian won on the Flat and were both highly tried on their respective hurdling debuts so could be capable of better. Rewired also won on the level as did Restitution, who is already proven over 2m. Ilico Des Places won in the French Provinces in May but August’s Dieppe winner ICEO makes most appeal of the two imports having teamed up with Paul Nicholls.
