| Having split a pair of next-time-out winners on reappearance, he went the wrong way over hurdles before jumping poorly when fourth of 8 on chase debut at Ludlow in February. Market expected better that day, though, and cheekpieces could sharpen him up. | ||||||||

| Lightly-raced sort placed on each of his three starts in points, and while never involved on chase debut last season, there was a modicum of promise in his hurdle reappearance (in first-time hood). Not totally ruled out back over fences. | ||||||||

A market to keep a close eye on but STREAMSFORTH LAD has been knocking at the door and must have solid claims to open his account. Kapamazov may well do better on second start for Tony Carroll, with Siege Of Acres perhaps worth another chance in an open-looking handicap. |
