Verdict

First Cry, Kaky and Fifth Column are three against the field in this trappy novices hurdle but Kaky is given the tentative nomination. the selection won well last time when beating Rouge Fatal in a claiming chase in his native France. He looks to have been found a nice race to make his British debut and in a poor affair he looks the value bet. First Cry rate the main danger on his latest third behind Ballyhurry but he looked woefully one paced and is passed over for that reason. Fifth Column is another that could go well as he showed a modicum of ability in points and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Campli is game and consistent and is sure to run his race while Wrenlane is unexposed and is another to note in thew market but for the winner we return to Kaky.
