HELL'S KITCHEN was very green on debut at Kempton but kept on under tender handling to finish third. He'll know more today and can improve past Walking In The Air, who probably came up against a decent novice last time at Wetherby but is proving a little one-paced. That description can also be attached to Midnight Cowboy while Coole Charmer needs more. Nice N Easy is a half-brother to an Irish hurdle and chase winner so warrants respect given connections and is preferred to fellow newcomer Tuffatthetop.
