Verdict

Not the easiest race to weigh up, but the switch to Nicky Henderson won't do CARIBEAN BOY any harm, and he can make a winning debut over fences if running up to his best hurdles form. He doesn't have much room for error, however, and the likes of Cotswold Way and Garrettstown, who met at Ludlow last time, with the latter brought down when about to launch a challenge, will be snapping at his heels.
