This isn’t a strong contest and even though Kalarika scored in a weak contest last time she is open to a little improvement and is still less exposed than many of these. Choix Des Armes is a similarly unexposed type who wouldn’t be one if the stable stars but should run a sound race at this level. ARGYLE has already shown he can handle this ground and showed promise on the Flat last time to keep him ticking over and he’s taken to defy top weight here. Ormskirk is another who may be able to transfer some good Flat AW form to hurdles having taken a step forward already for this yard over hurdles.
