CUCKLINGTON has been progressing nicely and he can use his experience edge to good effect here and land the hat-trick for the Tizzards. Silent Steps is an interesting rival who could prove better over fences based on her smart point-to-point form and she is fairly handicapped here. Kelvingrove hasn't yet hit the heights over fences but is clearly well handicapped based on his hurdles form.
