This could be another for Richard Hannon, as Kyle is fancied to appreciate the ease in grade tonight. High Reach and Night Prospector are fancied to provide the sternest challenges. Night Prospector likes this course and indeed comes here on the back of a successful visit from last week. However, that was a poor race and, as this fellow lacks consistency in his profile, he is not an obvious candidate to dish out a repeat dose. High Reach finally found his level again when landing a seller at Folkestone a fortnight ago. And he would have to enter the calculations on the pick of his past form. He would be dangerous to underestimate now that his confidence has received a timely boost. However, Kyle is used to a much stronger calibre of opponent and, as Hadden Frost has a good strike-rate when riding for the Hannon team, all bases appear to have been covered in the placement of the gelding here
