SHANTOU EXPRESS has improved with each of his three runs over hurdles so is confidently expected to follow up his facile Exeter success for the in-form Kim Bailey yard. Dual Cartmel scorer Finisk River should ensure he doesn't have things all his own way though, especially if improving his hurdling, while Euro Fou appeals as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
