Verdict

KAVANAGHS CROSS has a steadily progressive profile since moving to Iain Jardine and can add to last month's Kelso maiden success despite being 2 lb out of the weights here. The thriving Geronimo rates an obvious threat for the McCain/Hughes pairing, while the selection's stablemate Voix du Reve has been cut some slack by the assessor and should find this easier then the Fighting Fifth last time.
