Sid Hoodie enjoyed the very fast ground when battling to victory at Fakenham so wouldn't want any more rain. CESAR DU GOUET is still a maiden and probably has a chasing career mapped out after a close second over fences at Tramore but new trainer Olly Murphy will get the best out of him and he can make a winning start for new connections. Light Gunner made a promising start for new connections at Kempton and can go well.
