COUSIN OSCAR contested a hot event when making his handicap debut last time out and he can gain compensation by claiming this small field Class 2 contest. The selection carries top weight here but represents a yard with an 18% strike-rate recently (5/28) and can get the better of course specialist Desert Island Dusk in this. Of the remainder Verona Opera is respected having been running well in recent times.
