Something can't have been right with CALVINO last time and this course bumper scorer is given another chance to confirm the promise of his Newton Abbot hurdle debut second to the re-opposing Kapitein Kool, who should go well but has to give the selection 7 lb this time. Sioux Falls looks best of the rest.
