KUPATANA joined Nicky Henderson after landing a point at Monksgrange last March and made a very promising start over hurdles at Newbury in January where she would have finished much closer but for a couple of mistakes. She looks the one to be on with normal progress though Pull Together is a worthy opponent. He looked a likely future winner when leading for a long way over 2m4f at Leicester before finding Piton Pete much too good at Towcester with the remainder well beaten. It's Got Legs looks best of the remaining trio as he was still in touch when unseating his rider two out at Sandown last month and has the scope to do better.
