QUEENS CAVE

She's possibly one who might go under the radar a little bit. She has some good bits and pieces of form from last year, she won at Exeter and was entitled to. She also ran well in defeat a few times including when a good fifth at Cheltenham to Dame De Compagnie, who went on to win at the Festival. She was last season at Taunton and was a bit below par but she's always promised a lot and she'll be going chasing. This will be the season she really comes good with a bit of luck. She's potentially quite smart.
KEPAGGE

He was unbeaten from his bumper and two novice hurdle runs last year. He was a little bit iffy first time out over hurdles at Leicester but under a penalty at Doncaster last time in February he was very impressive. I'm not totally sure what the plan is but he will jump a fence in time as he ran in an Irish point. But I think there are still races to be won with him over hurdles if he's to stick down that route.

He's another unbeaten horse for us having won his bumper on his only start at Chepstow last October. He's schooled very nicely and I hope he will make up into a really nice novice.
PANIC ATTACK

She got beaten the other day when second at Huntingdon. Take nothing away from the winner but there is bags of improvement in Panic Attack, who won a Listed bumper at Market Rasen for Willie Mullins last winter before running in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. She'll improve an awful lot from the comeback and I do absolutely love her.
EXTRA MAG

He wasn't seen out last season but had some very good form from the year before, winning around Exeter. He would have won at Wetherby too that year but he stumbled at the last flight. He was then second to a good horse of Nicky Henderson's (Precious Cargo) around Kempton - the fourth horse that day was Not So Sleepy so the form looks good. I thought he was one of the nicer novice hurdlers a couple of seasons ago and while he's obviously had his issues, I think going forward he's definitely a horse who has excited me.
