A competitive field goes to post for this handicap hurdle with not much, between many of the runners but the principals look to be Ken'tucky, Cool Roxy and Who Cares Wins and the vote goes to Ken'tucky. The six-year-old from the Nicky Henderson yard won well last time out when defeating Emphatic and although he has risen in the weights he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Cool Roxy was a one paced third behind Zero Risk last time but he could improve for the step up in trip. Who Cares Wins is another that could go well he was third behind Fundamental last time and he is another that could be suited by the step up in trip. Fullards is another in form but he gave the impression that the handicapper had caught up with him when third behind Kitte Ou Double so for the winner we return to Ken'tucky.
