Kuiper Belt was in tremendous form last summer, winning five races on the Flat and over hurdles. He hasn't been in the same form over timber recently but this could bring out the best in him. Kerosin had been going well over trips too short before unlucky in-running over this distance at the Curragh last month and his young rider's claim is a bonus. PROSPECTUS (NAP) is a real soft-ground specialist and the more rain the better. He's in excellent form as he showed at Clonmel and has conditions in his favour so can follow up at the expense of Shakespear'sgalley, who was behind Kerosin at the Curragh before dropping back in trip to score at Down Royal. Venezia was also close behind in that former event but was conceding Joseph O'Brien's charge 24lb when narrowly beaten over 2m1f at Killarney earlier and is massively better off at the weights here.
