Bright Prospect only found one too good when last seen at Perth in April but has won just one of his nine starts over fences and he didn't pull up any trees here in three runs over hurdles. At the likely odds, he may be worth opposing. BLUE KASCADE is now a pound lower than when successful here a year ago. He lost his way in the spring but a break may have recharged his batteries. No Such Number may be in the handicapper's grip but Swantykay has a squeak if in the mood.
