KAVANAGHS CROSS is hard to get away from after a good third in a big-field novice handicap at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. These are calmer waters and he can open his account in a re-fitted tongue tie. Snowy Clouds shaped well first time up at Carlisle last month and will improve. Bumper-winner Conceroe is another to consider with his sights switched to hurdles on his return.
