In depth

Verdict

CLONDAW CAITLIN landed a Wetherby bumper in November 2019 then completed a hat-trick over hurdles culminating in a Grade 2 victory at Kelso. She was tried over fences at Cheltenham in October and though having no answer to Galvin that was no disgrace given the winner's victory back there at the Festival. Getareason produced a couple of ordinary efforts in jumpers' bumpers here then found Class 2 company too hot to handle at Doncaster while it's almost two years since Wemyss Point ran over hurdles and he's had seven all-weather runs this winter without winning. Prince Kayf looked one to follow when landing a Class 2 novices' race here in November 2019 and was only just beaten on a return visit a couple of month later. He should be ready after two recent runs and is down to a fair mark.
