War Singer made a bold bid to make all at Kempton earlier this month and was only caught after jumping the last. He had The Green Ogre behind that day but will have to settle better to get home here off a 4lb higher mark. Albert Bridge hasn't really fired so far this term and Mr Fitzroy had his limitations exposed at Taunton but there are possibilities about Kudu Country off his current mark as he had a few runs on the Flat last year and goes well fresh. HEATH HUNTER (NAP) ran well for a long way in the Lanzarote at Kempton and this drop in distance may well suit on the prevailing ground - he won his bumper here on heavy going in 2013. Cyclop will also handle conditions and could make the frame.
