Verdict

Kilgefin Star has struggled in subsequent starts since winning at Kelso in October and it remains to be seen how No No Mac gets on penalised for winning in testing ground over a longer trip at Southwell. ACT ALONE makes more appeal despite his penalty as Nicky Henderson's charge finished well clear of the field when scoring at Doncaster in January. He can follow-up in this. Jimmy The Jetplane ran well for a long way on his debut before fading away and bumper winner Cape York is worth noting as he goes hurdling for the first time.
