Verdict

Stiletto was 0-14 on the Flat but was second on his hurdling debut at Chepstow, though no match for an easy winner. Though KOMEDY KICKS only won by a head at Worcester 10 days ago, he clearly appreciated the drop in class and a double may be on the cards here. Somespring Special is the obvious danger having won a mares’ novices handicap over course and distance last month with Ben Godfrey taking off 3lb again.
