CAPTAIN KELLY cost current connections £125,000 after winning a point-to-point in Ireland just over a year ago. He was probably a little keen when beaten in a Newbury bumper on his debut under Rules in November but should come into his own now jumping and is the selection here. Kilmacowen, a winner at Warwick in March and seventh in a valuable handicap at Aintree last time, sets a fair standard, however, and All That Remains and Enter Milan have already shown ability over hurdles. Top Dancer should also be capable of winning a novices' event and Master Of The Sea's bumper form stands up to scrutiny.
