MISTER KIT is favoured by the conditions of this and the 7lb he gets from The Dutchman could be decisive. Chris Grant's charge was a wide margin of a couple of minor races in the autumn before producing a career best to chase home the useful Project Bluebook last time. Well suited to good ground and possessing point-to-point experience, he looks the one to beat. The Dutchman will ensure the selection has no easy task but his jumping has cost him dear and he can ill afford mistakes in this. Ash Park will appreciate the better ground having struggled in heavy conditions last time but faces a stiff task at the weights.
