        held up in 5th on inside, headway far side of group chasing leaders 2f out, no extra inside final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        Ben Haslam’s runner had every chance in the previous division and CALEVADE should go close in this. The latter won over a shorter trip at Chelmsford before placing at Catterick on a recent hurdling debut and may prove good enough. Bill Cody won at Southwell last month before struggling at Chelmsford while Gordalan has been hurdling though scored over 1m6f at Catterick in October when last on the Flat and is 9lb higher for this. Kitty's Cove will be sharper for a recent spin over hurdles and looks best of the rest on a success over 2m2f at Musselburgh back in August.
