Verdict
KAYF TAOI, very green when fourth at Taunton in March, looks the pick of those with experience and can see of former pointers Ballyhawkish and The Boola Boss as well as newcomers Callisto's King and Copper Cove. The latter pair do represent powerful connections, however, and should be monitored for any market support.
