The veteran Pettochside was the 25/1 winner of this last year under Saffie Osborne and is 3lb lower. Mulzim has only gone up 4lb for winning at Southwell but is 0-8 on Turf. SENECA CHIEF goes well fresh and Tom Marquand was on board when he won at Sandown in September so he gets a tentative vote in an open-looking finale ahead of Newcastle runner-up Phoenix Star and Yazaman, who looks the pick of Bob Cowell’s trio at the weights. Devil's Angel and Full Authority could also figure but Mohareb is an all-weather specialist.
