Verdict
A number of powerful NH yards are represented in this and Itseemslikeit and Captain Bellamy could be useful recruits from the point-to-point circuit. Jungle Wood‘s dam placed in a bumper in France but KAP OUEST is a half-brother to two winners and is taken to make a winning start to his career. Tripoli Flyer, brother to a winning hurdler, is also worth a market check.
