Verdict
Three-year-olds have more than held their own against the older horses in this in recent year so Capitaine is certainly worth a second look given connections. Ozzie The Oscar is, as his name suggests, by Oscar and another contender but we like the breeding of DRUMCLIFF. Harry Fry's Presenting gelding is a half-brother to the top-class hurdler/chaser Simonsig and winning bumper Simarthur so will be expected to win races.
