MAURICIO was well behind Kenyan when favourite at Stratford on his hurdling debut but that run was too bad to be true. His yard has been among the winners lately and he could recoup losses. City Dreamer was also disappointing when market leader at Market Rasen last month but is capable of better while Ettihadi was placed once on the Flat in six starts, though that was a while ago.
