Galveston and Spoils Of War are tricky customers who are probably best watched. Both struggled behind Karingo here last time and need to find more than is likely to be forthcoming. Karingo secured that success under an opportunistic ride and will find this harder. Mac N Cheese would be a contender if ready after a two year break but he looks a more likely type for a novice chase in the next few months. Devito'sgoldengirl promises more over this trip but Double Court is an exasperating sort. NOVO DAWN has come to hand recently and as a winning point-to-pointer on soft ground this looks an ideal test. His latest Cartmel effort looks even better since the third, Dotties Dilemma (beaten 8L), has scored twice since off marks in the 90s. If running to that level back over hurdles he is sure to be had to beat.
