Kayfleur has come up against decent novices in her two runs to date over fences and should find this easier. She has more scope than Alder Mairi, who had no chance last time against Ar Mad but has won at Wincanton and Lingfield this winter. Aces Over Eights will have had plenty of schooling but will find easier opportunities in the future. Centasia was tailed of on her only start over fences at Southwell last May and has been absent since so this is best left to CRESSWELL BREEZE. She's yet to run a bad race over the larger obstacles and can reverse Exeter running in December with Kayfleur on better terms.
