Kilfinichen Bay has been pulled-up either side of winning at Uttoxeter. He has every chance on these terms if back to his best and is preferred to recent Southwell winner Fearthedark. He also has plenty to spare at the weights with Fort Worth, a close-up second at Wetherby last month, while Ruddy Article will need to step up on his third at Newton Abbot to figure. But THE TOURARD MAN arrives in fine form having landed a double over hurdles last month and Alan King’s charge gets another chance to open his account over fences racing off a 2lb lower mark today.
