Koup De Kanon won a novices' handicap at Carlisle in October but could only finish fifth when odds-on at Market Rasen next time. He may not have got home over that slightly longer trip but still faces a stiff task here off level weights against BURY PARADE. Robert Bewley's gelding couldn't have been more impressive when beating Pinerolo by eight lengths over C&D on his hurdles bow and there should be more to come. The two penalised runners should dominate this, though One For Luck has hinted at ability and Soul Bid was fourth at Wetherby last time albeit beaten 27 lengths.
