ATHOLL STREET was impressive in winning both his hurdle starts at Taunton before the turn of the year and appeals as the type to go on progressing back from a break, so he’s fancied to land the hat-trick up in grade. Calico created a good impression at Ludlow and seems sure to go on to better things, while Cape Gentleman clearly wasn't right when pulled up last time and remains with potential.
