KACK HANDED has performed with a degree of credit in novice hurdles and having missed a couple of engagements on account of changing ground conditions, Henry Daly will be hopeful that things are to suit this afternoon. Spent has had quite a few chances and invariably ends up coming up short. Cinderella Rose shaped with promise in a Cheltenham bumper and clearly looks a mare with a future. Alnwick was a useful enough two miler on the flat and this could be a good starting point before stepping up to further. Causing Chaos has a pedigree that suggests two miles will not be a problem. Amuse Me made most to take a Musselburgh bumper but things have gone rapidly downhill since. Quite The Man is best of the rest.
