Mrs S Gardner
He has won a hurdle race and three chases from 2m 1f to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to soft. Beaten a head by Magic Marmalade when second of 4 at 9-4 on his latest outing in a hurdle race here over 2m 7f (good to firm) earlier this month.
KAYBEEW bounced back to form when scoring over 3m2f at Carlisle last month and he shapes as though an extreme test such as this will suit, so he is fancied to go close despite a 6lb rise. Jolly Boys Outing seems to save his best for Towcester but he definitely has claims on the form of his 3m1f success at that venue last time, despite having been bumped up 11lb in the ratings. Ethiopia is back on a fair mark and he should not be overlooked, with Spring Moon, Sea Saffron and Pairc Na Gcapall also respected.
