Kajaki ended a long losing run at Sedgefield in January before finishing third at Newcastle but NOTRE PARI reverted to hurdles with a third at Uttoxeter in February and then won at Fontwell, despite some wayward jumping, so can defy a 2lb rise if putting his best foot forward. Fire Away beat a small-but-select field in a novice event at Southwell last month and looks a danger with Aurora Thunder also likely to be in the firing-line given he had every chance when falling at the last at Ayr.
