Takotna is preferred to Kick And Prance and Master Halling. Alan King's mare hasn't been out since January but with the stable continuing in good form her absence isn't a concern. She may not have been suited by the heavy ground on that occasion as her only win has been on quick ground so today's conditions should be ideal and she can resume winning ways. Kick And Prance merits a market check on just his second start over hurdles for Gary Moore whilst the booking of Liam Heard for handicap debutant Master Halling takes the eye as Simon Burrough's gelding's three runs haven't been devoid of promise. He still has something to prove though and we prefer Takotna.
