A host of unexposed sorts in opposition in an ultra-competitive finale with the narrow vote in favour of KAVANAGHS CROSS. Despite remaining winless over hurdles, he arrives having run his best race yet when edged out late on at Carlisle recently and he's of definite interest from this sort of mark. Howdyalikemenow, Brorson, City Derby and Samba Dancer head up the list of dangers.
