OVER MY HEAD (NAP) was not beaten far when second at Huntingdon on his chasing debut. He had a couple of spins over timber last month and should make a bold bid in this. Kapricorne is more experienced over fences and was placed at Huntingdon on Boxing Day while Gowanautha is upped 5lb after opening his account over the larger obstacles in a lower grade race at Ludlow recently. The remainder are harder to fancy though Lawless Island has been placed over hurdles before.
