Go West (G)
Completed the hat-trick over hurdles in a 3-runner Kempton novice last April and looked a natural when winning a match race on chase bow at Warwick on return. Added to his tally at Musselburgh in February and easy to put a line through his…

[P]
Signed off for Gavin Cromwell with success in 9-runner handicap chase at Galway (2¾m) in October and having been backed at long odds on return, shaped as if amiss at Haydock (3¼m, good to soft) just 10 days ago. Back down in trip and inter…

Kahavari (G)
[T]
Fair winner over hurdles in France who has finished second in 3 his last 4 outings, most recently in 8-runner event at Kelso earlier in the month (again traded short in-running). Nudged up another 3 lb for that near miss and this is a stro…
