Verdict

Newcomers M Seven Seven Gus, Haighall and Brandy Burn are all worth a market check. River Icon is the only one with bumper experience having finished third at Perth in June but this looks a good opportunity for former pointer COUSIN OSCAR. By Oscar out of a winning hurdler, he'll make a jumper but should have the pace for this and his stable has a terrific strike rates in races of this type here.
