    Verdict

    KITZBUHEL impressed with his jumping when making all in the Kauto Star at Kempton over Christmas and should prove hard to pass around here with the drop back in trip unlikely to be an issue. Kala Conti is the obvious threat having won both her starts over fences this season, including a Grade 2 mares novice at Cork by a wide margin.

    Kitzbuhel (Fr) silk

    Smart over hurdles and already looks a better chaser than a hurdler, taking the step up in class in his stride when making all in Kauto Star (Grade 1) at Kempton on Boxing Day, his jumping making it very hard for anything else to get a look-in. That style of running can be a big asset around here.

    Kala Conti (Fr) silk

    Useful over hurdles and made it 2 from 2 over fences in the manner of a smart chaser in Grade 2 mares novice at Cork 55 days ago, beating the reappearing Kargese by 16 lengths. Sure to make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

    Sixmilebridge (Ire) silk

    Front runner who looked a smart recruit to chasing when winning Ayr maiden and Cheltenham novice (both 3-runner fields) this season. Well worth a shot at this level but does face serious competition for the lead.
