KAYF MOSS was rated 8lb higher over hurdles than likely market rival Monkey Kingdom. He had Saphir De Rheu behind when winning the Grade 2 National Spirit last year and, though making his fencing bow, might have too much speed for Rebecca Curtis' charge if his jumping holds up. Monkey Kingdom has had five run over fences but didn't really kick on from an opening second at Chepstow. Webbswood is a modest maiden but Conas Taoi has won a race between the flags so should make a chaser.
