Any number to consider but RUN FOR OSCAR is just about the most persuasive option having improved into a very useful stayer on the Flat during the second half of 2022. He was also better than the result on both hurdles outings since and, representing a yard with very few peers in handicaps, he looks the way to go with cheekpieces back on. Captain Conby has presumably been saved for this and he's open to lots of progress, with Good Risk At All perhaps the pick of the British contenders.
