The versatile Redera, who has won seven times on all kinds of surfaces including three over hurdles, makes his chasing debut and is one to keep an eye on. Sitcom showed that she had made progress from her opening run over the bigger obstacles with a much improved effort behind Gentleman Duke over 2m here three weeks ago and is likely to improve again. IL FENOMENO is undoubtedly the form pick but he's a frustrating type who travels well but doesn't always find much. He looks to have been found a decent opportunity here and hopefully will consent to do his best. Dual winning point-to-pointer Hill Rock may prove best of the remainder.
