This looks to be a very good opportunity for Caribbean Cove to boost his confidence over hurdles, with The Dark Lord and Romany Dream expected to give him the most to do. Henrietta Knight's charge is still very lightly raced and a career over fences has been penciled in for him sooner rather than later, and this looks to be the perfect build up before he is campaigned with fences in mind later in the season. He got off the mark in good style at Bangor last time and need only run up to that level again to expand upon his winning portfolio. The Dark Lord should improve for the step up in trip but is nothing out of the ordinary and it will be a big surprise if he finds enough to overhaul the selection. Romany Dream also has improvement to find and she may just benefit most from the experience today.
