Taming represents the Venetia Williams yard and while the booking of Tony McCoy is a positive, the concern is that he has something to prove on a softer surface. Kings Knight comes here fresh from a second to Ragdale Hall. He has an obvious chance but will need to brush up on his jumping. Former German flat performer, El Divino has been a little disappointing since making the transition to hurdling and after a spin on the flat in claiming company, he should not lack for fitness. Terino finished fifth in a decent bumper to the useful Petanque and any reproduction of that form makes him an each-way alternative in a difficult race.
