Verdict
Having run in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham, Captain Kangaroo will appreciate the return to maiden company. He’s already gone close on a couple of occasions but is a little more exposed than NOT AVAILABLE, a half-brother to the top-class Identity Thief among others, who may well do better on the drying ground. God Help Us has placed a couple of times this spring at Clonmel and is probably capable of further improvement while Philip Fenton’s newcomer Gali Flight is interesting being a full brother to a winning chaser in France.
