KANTURK BAY jumped well and made all on his chasing bow at Carlisle last week. He has a penalty to carry but is definitely going to make a better chaser than hurdler and the going will not be a problem. Noel Kelly’s mare Milan Dancer has been placed in point-to-points and over hurdles so she looks the danger on her first run over fences ahead of modest Uttoxeter third Man In Black. Hattons Hill has shown signs of ability while Smuggler's Stash is only 4lb higher than when successful here in December, though has struggled since.
