Verdict
The Kvilleken wasn't beaten far in his only start so far over fences, though that was back in October. Jaunty Inflight was still in front when coming to grief at the second-last at Ffos Las but is better suited by an easier surface. Going Nowhere Fast returns from a break off a high enough mark while Heurtevent is still 6lb higher than when scoring at Towcester around this time last year. ACES OVER EIGHTS burst a blood vessel when pulled up on her chasing bow at Warwick in March and may be worth another chance eased in grade as she has a bit more scope than most of these.
