If LET'S GO AMIGO takes to fences at the first time of asking he could be the answer in a race devoid of a standout candidate. Kim Bailey's charge was a good third in a Ludlow handicap hurdle off a 3 lb higher mark last spring, a race he may well have won but for encountering traffic problems at a crucial stage. Chantilly Rose didn't show much over hurdles but she wouldn't be the first from this yard to improve for the switch to fences, while Samtara and What A Steal are others to consider.
