KAZBOW once raced off a mark in the 90s but lost his way before returning with a bang at Southwell where he completed a double in February. He looks the one to beat though Wily Fox will ensure he doesn't have things his own way as he's won twice over hurdles during the winter and ran well over a lightly shorter trip here recently when Stickleback wasn't far behind and My Arch, who generally goes well on the track, well beaten. Kalamill is still a maiden but getting closer and is on a fair enough mark as is Jeu De Roseau, who has scored over hurdles since his last victory on the Flat at Newcastle.
