Mountain Kingdom has had 23 starts on the Flat without winning and was having his 10th run over timber when landing a course and distance maiden on good going in August. DAWERANN was in good form at the backend of last year but looked as though he'd had enough when well beaten at Tramore on New Year's Day - he's had a break and can regain the winning thread. His stable companion Canova has never won but has now sunk to a very lowly mark and this shouldn't take much winning. Winning bumper Newsworthy hasn't shown much over hurdles but still finds himself on top weight on his debut for new connections but Howwoulduno will probably be back over fences before long.
