NOTTURNO has left his 2-y-o form behind switched to handicaps this season and he is taken to open his account at the eighth time of asking. A winner over hurdles recently, Bigz Belief is likely to give it a good shot back in this sphere and he is second choice ahead of Fond Farewell, who hit the target here last time. Chilean is also worth a second look.
