Shantou Sunset scored over the trip on his only visit here last May then completed a double at Newton Abbot and is on the same mark. Dynamite Kentucky completed a double at around this trip in January and a mistake put paid to his chances at Exeter last time. D'JANGO had been chasing before a couple of decent efforts on his return to hurdles and can take this for David Pipe with his rider's claim a bonus. Shah An Shah has been going well though drying ground wouldn't play to his strengths, a remark that also applies to Lightonthewing whose Wincanton victory last year came on heavy ground.
