Kenzai Warrior was a Group 3 winner as a two-year-old but has been in decline since but Evenwood Sonofagun has placed in five of his 11 starts over timber and has to go on the shortlist. A winner over 1m6f on Polytrack, BAILEYS DERBYDAY has hinted in ability in a couple of hurdle runs and this won’t take much winning. Sobegrand was lightly raced on the Flat but showed nothing on his hurdles bow and has been gelded since.
