Verdict
Kayf Taoi failed to complete in the testing going at Wincanton and much better is expected on today’s surface. He’s receiving weight from the penalised HECTOR JAVILEX but the latter was having his first outing after wind surgery when scoring at Southwell recently and further improvement is expected. Beep Beep and Hi Riko have shown nothing so fare to suggest they can figure.
