There were positives to glean from ALQAMAR's hurdles debut at Carlisle where he chased home the promising Word Has It, form which both the winner and third have since boosted. That run will have blown away the cobwebs (first appearance for 27 months) and improvement should be forthcoming. The Caretaker also made an encouraging hurdles bow at Carlisle and is next best ahead of Flat winner Culture.
