Verdict
CESAR ET ROSALIE would not need to improve much on a debut third over hurdles at Musselburgh to take this for Neil Mulholland and is preferred to the four-year-old Hint Of Grey, possibly flattered to get within a length of Azzuri at Huntingdon 12 days ago. Capsy De Mee could be interesting, however, as he wasn’t beaten far behind Cheltenham third River Wylde at Ludlow. Give Him Time owed his handicap mark to a fourth at Kempton in November but he’s run poorly twice since.
