On a line through Kayf Moss, there's not a great deal between Bally Rone and HEATH HUNTER on bumper form. Rebecca Curtis' gelding has already had a run over hurdles, finishing third over course and distance earlier this month, but David Pipe's six-year-old may have the greater scope and can extend his unbeaten run under Rules. Taqaat won on the Flat as a three-year-old while Fishing Bridge and Fuhgeddaboudit have hinted at ability but are likely to be playing for places if the market principals perform as expected.
