A Group 3 winner in his heyday, Peppertree Lane has just the one win over hurdles to his name since 2008. Making his debut for a new yard at this level doesn't boost confidence and he may also find today's trip on the short side too. KIDLAT makes more appeal as he finished a close-up fifth in a decent handicap at Kempton in November and, on today's terms, looks to have the measure of both Marvo and Wisecraic. It's Me And You makes his belated racecourse debut and is one to keep an eye on.
