Character Onesie was still well beaten in second here last month but finished in front of both Kelpies Myth and Silver Bullion. Morning With Ivan just missed out over these obstacles when runner-up over 2m4f while Jamacho was placed in a juvenile hurdle here on New Year’s Day. Graystown ran well for a long way at Haydock a fortnight ago on his handicap debut and Scorpion Princess may also improve now handicapping for the first time. But KALANITI (NAP) tumbled down the weights last year and this sharp 2m trip should suit Chris Grant’s charge after finding one too good in a higher grade contest at Southwell on his latest start and he gets the nod.
