Verdict
KAP BOY got closer than previously over hurdles when runner-up in a Ffos Las maiden in April and, having transferred to another good yard, he's taken to make a successful handicap debut. Brief Statement returns from a long lay-off but there's plenty to like about her both physically and on paper to suggest that she's capable of better now handicapping, with in-form veteran Fostered Phil completing the shortlist.

VerdictExpensive to follow last season but looked and shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Kelso (18.1f, good) 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Entitled to strip fitter here.

VerdictFair Flat winner in France who has taken well to hurdling, defying a penalty at the first attempt in 7-runner novice at Kelso (16.2f) in May. However, appeared to have his limitations exposed under a double penalty at Hexham next time and has been handed a stiff-looking mark. Fit from the Flat.- 8.
