    Verdict

    MISTER KIT (NAP) made a very pleasing debut under Rules here last month, quickly putting daylight between himself and the rest of the field in the closing stages. That victory was largely unexpected but he'll be a short price to follow up today. Miami Present won a maiden hurdle at Fakenham on his first start for Harriet Bethell and may now be starting to fulfill his potential while Improved wasn't disgraced behind an odds-on shot at Doncaster last month. The other two both have some improving to do.
