Kalaharry has placed in all three starts over fences so far but will require further improvement to get off the mark. TRESHNISH took advantage of a ridiculously low mark to end a losing run here last month. He is back up in grade today but should follow up if that has restored confidence, though Mah Mate Bob is also well treated nowadays and Itsnotyouitsme could figure if taking to fences. Vengeur De Guye is looking a light of former days, however.
