KAZANSKY finished 8 lengths adrift of reopposing Doctor Steinberg when the pair met at the Dublin Racing Festival last month but appeals as the type who will be tailor-made by the demands of this race and at forecast odds, he could be worth siding with for the stable that landed this 2 years ago. Doctor Steinberg (3-3 over hurdles) has looked every inch a smart prospect and is highly respected, as is River Don scorer Thedeviluno. Spinningayarn and Mondoui'boy are also worth a look.
