Now with Olly Murphy and wearing cheekpieces, KAHDIAN is 6lb higher than when scoring at Wincanton in April but his new yard usually improves their charges and he’s had a wind operation since beaten in a seller over hurdles at Exeter. Mariners Moon is 0-18 under NH Rules while Diligent has proved a disappointment since arriving from France but Bard Of Brittany can only improve on a recent debut over fences here. Boss Des Mottes won off a higher mark last summer but is hard to catch right.
