A half-brother to three Flat winners, CANFORD CHIMES has been struggling to get home over 2m so this drop in distance should prove ideal. Kaveman was backed off the boards on his debut at Warwick in January but hung under pressure and was soon beaten. He is undoubtedly capable of better and preferred to stablemate Airtight. Filemon is a brother to a mare who was placed in a bumper in Ireland and he looks the pick of the newcomers.
