KAYFAST WARRIOR won five times on the Flat during the summer and has joined Donald McCain. This doesn't look the trickiest of starts and he's taken to make a successful debut. The stable also run Lindwall, who was well beaten on his hurdling debut at Wetherby but completed an all-weather hat-trick in the autumn. Inca Prince has been racing in Ireland with a placed effort at Gowran in October the highlight while Krypton Gold is another Irish recruit who looks like being a better hurdler judged on a promising start at Leicester. Tommaso was travelling well for much of the way at Market Rasen and, with that under his belt, can make his presence felt.
