        Verdict

        An interesting opener, where all three penalised runners are probably vulnerable, though White Mocha perhaps has more improvement in him this time than either Yaafour or Enzo . Abandon Ship and Al Jellaby are others to consider, along with debutante Pippin . However, NUITS ST GEORGES did really well on debut at Sandown and may have sufficient improvement in him to win this time.
