KAPAL LAYAR (1) broke his maiden previous start at Chepstow securing a 2.5L win during February. Represents in-form jockey and trainer combination. Major player. KOUKEO (7) found his first victory scoring by 1L contesting a 2m5 1/2f novices handicap hurdle at Exeter. May replicate. THANK YOU BLUE (2) failed to land a hat-trick placing third at Newcastle last time tackling 2m1f. Can handle rise in trip. Not discounted. THE SAINTED CANARY (3) finished runner-up to a G1 second novice hurdler at Wincanton. Might act on that form.
