CLIFFSIDE PARK (NAP) has been a disappointment over hurdles, but should be effective at this level and on these terms ought to be able to get his nose in front. The main opposition is likely to come from lightly-raced Newton Abbot maiden winner Buble who has shown steady improvement to date. Gambol has twice won this sort of contest but meets both of the market principle on extremely unfavourable terms, as does Lightentertainment. The Kvilleken is on a long losing run and Art Looker has shown nothing over hurdles to date.
