Verdict
ISKAR D’AIRY won a bumper in France on his debut but failed to settle at Kempton on his first outing for Gary Moore’s yard and faded in the closing stages - he gets another chance in this. Dear Ralphy is another likely improver and is preferred to new stablemate Fountains Chief, who is penalised for winning a bumper at Stratford early last year. Captain Fantastic and Cuban Court are both related to winners over jumps and are newcomers to note.
