Verdict
CURRICULUM (NAP) gets the nod to come good in first-time headgear. Not beaten far on his debut at Newmarket in October, he was reappearing after a lengthy break at Kempton and kept on nicely under a hands and heels ride in the closing stages. Saleh was very green at Kempton at the start of the month but his run wasn't without promise and he has a lot more scope than Sandown third Sante, who may need further. A similar remark also applies to Outrath, who has won a bumper and been placed over hurdles. Big Chill ran badly in a handicap at Brighton last time but the quicker going here will help.
