Gleno and Mr Katanga are both previous course winners. Of that pair, the latter has had a recent run. Faustinovick has placed eight times over fences but is 0-17 in career starts and was not really improving last season. Perth winner Easy Bucks couldn’t cope with a 5lb rise at Sedgefield but is usually thereabouts. Having won twice between the flags, a switch to fences should suit DYNAMITE KENTUCKY and he starts off in modest company. San Agustin didn’t do a lot wrong in his first season over the larger obstacles so looks a danger.
