Verdict
Kensington Art took fairly well to hurdles last season and should find a race on the northern circuit. Mister Chiang is a fascinating contender as he was a four-timer winner on the level for Mark Johnston but has been off the track for a while. GOLFE CLAIR (NAP) impressed in the way he travelled when landing a Clonmel maiden hurdle for Joseph O'Brien in June and was still in contention when coming to grief at Tramore. That's the best form on offer as he makes his debut for Philip Kirby.
