Verdict

KIHAVAH has taken his form to another level this season, landing big-field handicaps at York on his last two starts in this sphere, either side of scoring over hurdles at Market Rasen. This demands a new personal-best but the 6-y-o may well be equal to the task. Last year's winner Dark Jedi failed to fire last time but he will have every chance if on-song. The veterans Euchen Glen and Sir Chauvelin both warrant respect, too.
