ANDI'AMU is unlucky not to have opened his account having gone very close on his last couple of outings including a head defeat at Uttoxeter on his reappearance. Warren Greatrex's charge can go one better. Countersign also has claims on his second at this track in September but Destiny's Gold was still beaten a long way when third at Cheltenham recently. Kiteney Wood and Kayf Blanco could go well on their first start over hurdles while Joffrey and Kiwayu should improve from last month's modest debut efforts.
