CAUSE TOUJOURS is held in high regard by the Skelton team and is sure to have been well prepared for his hurdling debut. The Champion Bumper favourite has been found a good opportunity and bigger targets surely await. Fellow debutants Blazon, Midnight Shadow and Monty's Award look the types to win races this winter and have to be considered dangers here. Counter Shy is the pick of those with hurdling experience but faces a stiff task under his penalty.
