Verdict
Placed in France on his chasing bow, EL TERREMOTO has won over hurdles for Nigel Twiston -Davies and gets the vote. He’s rated higher over timber than Gustave Mahler though the latter has placed in both starts over fences to far and has every chance in this. Rossetti is a prolific winner over timber and makes a belated chasing debut today but it’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder unless Shady Oaks proves above average on his first start under Rules.
