Verdict
THE STREET has always looked like a chaser in making and he proved at Chepstow last term that he handles a softer surface. Amenon achieved more over hurdles than his rival and would be a danger if a wind surgery has worked the oracle. Kyntara was turned over at short odds at Southwell on his most recent outing but Kim Bailey’s team are in fair nick and the gelding has had issues with his breathing dealt with. Foillan was progressive over the smaller obstacles last season. Guerlain De Vaux outstayed rivals at Catterick last January and makes a first start for Alastair Ralph.
