Verdict
Gordon Elliott has been struggling for winners but Officer Sydney has been bought for jumping after a close second for Brian Meehan at Pontefract and should be making his mark soon. He looks better than another UK import Persiflage who showed only moderate form for Hugo Palmer. KING CHRISTOPHE came here for his hurdling debut having scored twice on the Flat and was well supported but he made an early mistake which unsettled him. He had Armistice Day and Cornelius a long way behind and will have benefited from the experience so looks the safest option in a tricky race. Lake Champlain won at Down Royal in June but was tailed off at Galway last month.
