Spear Thistle's run in front of Cucumber Run at Plumpton looks the pick of the form on paper but Jim Best's gelding hasn't been seen since December, so a match-fit KENT STREET gets the vote. Sue Smith's team has been in fine form over timber and her decision to go chasing with the 117-rated hurdler suggests he is showing all the right signs at home. Karingreason is also of interest.
