Like many of the races on the card this looks competitive with some interesting contenders in the field. Cyrus Darius would have had the best form of these over hurdles and although he won his only chase outing it wasn’t a convincing performance but maybe there is better to come second time around. KAYF ADVENTURE wouldn’t have been as good as his main rival over hurdles but he jumped soundly for the most part on his debut rallying well to win and he deserves the vote in this. Pistol Park was progressive last year but may just need this with Arctic Gold lurking on a useful mark if he sees his race out better this time although this shorter trip should help. Captain Redbeard faces a tough task off this mark while No No Mac will have to have bottomless conditions to be effective over this trip.
