LOUSTIC DU CHATEL needs to learn to settle but there's clearly ability there and he could prove hard to catch round here. Indeed, a reproduction of his second to a potentially very useful Skelton-trained novice at Huntingdon in January would probably be good enough to see him home in front. The only conceivable danger is Myrighthandman, who is going the right way and should get his head in front before long.
