Verdict
The Kvilleken ran into one at Stratford last time in the unexposed Deserter and now reverts to chasing. He has yet to suggest he's as comfortable over fences and is best watched. HIGHBURY HIGH appeared to be going the right way over fences until way below par last time and will be a leading player if putting that run behind him as he drops in trip. He is afforded another chance in a low-key affair. Wyndcrest showed first signs of form over fences at Stratford but Dealing River rates a likelier threat although yet to produce his previous level of form since returning from an enforced absence.
