Verdict
Captain Cuckoo was beaten a distance when last of four at Exeter and looks high enough in the weights. Broomfields Kan, a winner between the flags, found stepping up to 2m4f to his liking at Ayr while Choix Des Armes is another suited by further. GOSUATRI was well beaten on his only start over fences but hasn't run badly over hurdles recently so gets the nod with Onenightintown a likely threat after a better effort at Catterick though the latter is 0-21.
