OSCATELLO had been unfortunate to come up against the progressive Temoin at Sandown but made no mistake here and won in decent style. He will not meet his engagement at Cheltenham but should continue to give a good account.
Waterloo Son, the pick on official figures, had every chance but could not match the winner from the second last. He will come into his own when he goes over fences.
Giovanna looked a threat when improving down the back straight but had again failed to settle in the early stages and she failed to get home over this longer trip.
Sakenos tried to make all and was only seen off after the second last. He is now eligible for a handicap mark.
Illimunati, a half-brother to Ouija Board, ran a fair race and is now eligible for handicaps.
Pagan Sky showed a bit more than he had over shorter on his recent hurdles debut at this venue.
Corble showed definite signs of ability on this second run over hurdles and will be qualified for handicaps after one more run.
The veterinary officer reported that Airgusta was found to be sore after the race.
