THE COMPOSEUR had plenty in the tank when opening his account over fences at Southwell last month and a 6 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to stop him from following up. Sizing Cusimano should ensure Jonjo O'Neill's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though in his hat-trick attempt, while Black Buble is another who can have a say given his fine recent run of form.
