D McCain Jnr
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 11-8fav at Newcastle over 2m (good) last month, beating Cool Baranca by 3 1/2l.
Gibb River, Ubi Ace, Paintball and the hat-trick seeking Dream Esteem all have rock-solid form in the book but they will do well to concede so much weight to CONSTANT CONTACT. Donald McCain's classy Flat recruit didn't show much in his first two hurdle starts over the winter but the switch to better ground brought about stark improvement when winning by 15 lengths at Hereford last month. The assessor doesn't look to have gone over board with an initial mark of 128 and Henry Brooke takes off another very handy 3lb in the saddle. Kazlian is the only four-year-old in the race but David Pipe's juvenile ran a promising race when fourth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last month and he could be in the shake-up if the forecast heavy showers arrive.
