KEREMAN is a brother to a middle-distance winner on the flat in Ireland and a half-brother to three others. He didn’t run on the Flat but has been snapped up by Dan Skelton, who can do little wrong at present. Costa Percy is two from two over hurdles but has to give 14lb to his rivals. City Dreamer is probably better than he showed here last time but has now been beaten twice when odds-on. Plato's Kode looks the type to make a hurdler, however, having won on the Flat at Bath.
