A DIFFERENT KIND seeks a course hat-trick after landing bumpers in recent weeks by 15l and 10l respectively. He's hard to oppose on that reasoning and, for good measure, the McCain yard remains in excellent shape. The obvious danger is the Irish raider for Charles Byrnes, Kendancer. He's already had ten starts over timber and thus has a massive edge in experience but does lack the potential of the selection. He's well respected though. The Morgan team is dually represented and Tom Creen, a little low-key on hurdling debut, makes most appeal of the pair on previous efforts in the pointing sphere. Flat winners Madeeh and Sameem are worth a market check.
