Sherborne chased home a more experienced rival at Hereford and will have come on a bundle while Guardino may not have been suited by front-running when strongly fancied at Carlisle. Kyntara has an excellent pedigree and easily landed a point at Bishops Court in October while Our Surprise has joined Harry Fry after a comfortable victory at Loughanmore. The latter's yard is also represented by GOUDHURST STAR, who is closely related to five winners including the useful Brave Vic, and gets the vote in a tricky finale where Dan Skelton's Reilly is another newcomer to keep an eye on.
