Kashmir Peak has done well on both starts since moving to the Skelton yard and is interesting on chasing debut. Lady Of Longstone is another chasing recruit of note, likewise Mr Shantu, a decent sort over timber and one of two good chances for the O'Neill team. IN THE ROUGH (NAP) also represents the yard and shaped with promise on his reappearance after over a year off when hunting up the useful Kaki De La Pree over course and distance on his second chase start. A talented hurdler, he's taken to confirm that recent promise. Net Work Rouge has jumped well on both starts over fences this term and should set out to make all. He'll go well if his attacking style works at a venue where where he has already scored over timber and is the each-way value of the race.
