Mirsaale has been very highly tried since completing a double at Perth at the end of the summer but is conceding weight all round. French import CATAMARAN DU SEUIL only had to be shaken up to make a winning start for Richard Newland. There should be more to come and he’s preferred to Skipthecuddles, who never threatened when second at Hereford. Rock My Style makes his hurdling debut after placed efforts in a point-to-point and a bumper and is best watched.
