Ambrose Princess and Callisto Moon are both fit form hurdling though neither has won on the Flat since 2010 but Kadouchski scored twice on the level last year including over C&D in March. This is tougher than the race Fade To Grey won at Wolverhampton last time while Rose Of Sarratt was also winning in a lower grade when successful at Redcar in November. VELOCE made a winning reappearance at Wolverhampton in March and though he's 5lb higher today, he looks to have got his act together at last and Ian William's charge is taken to follow-up.
