SAMBEZI had plenty in hand when doubling his tally over timber at Fontwell earlier this month and, faced with a similar small-field scenario, Oliver Signy's charge should prove tough to peg back. He can get the better of Western General, who pulled clear with another unexposed sort at Taunton a fortnight ago (winner that day has won again since). Rewired can take third spot.
