Karamoko has made the frame in half of his six hurdle starts but hasn’t raced since January last year. Say Nothing finished third on her hurdling debut here last month and improved on that when filling the same place at Southwell. She is one for the shortlist along with Shareef Star, who looks to be finally getting the hang of things, but QUEEN ADELAIDE is preferred. David Pipe’s mare ran well on similar going at Wincanton in November when the first two pulled well clear and Fergus Gillard’s claim negates a 4lb rise.
