JOHNNY KIDD has been progressing with racing this season and looks to be well treated by the handicapper on the basis of his form so far, he could have the likely improvement to land this type of contest. Group Stage holds claims from his consistent runs this season for a National Hunt trainer who does well with flat handicappers, while Alnadir's C&D second puts him right in the mix off the same mark in what looks to be a weaker contest.
