Verdict

There was plenty to like about KAUTO RIKO's winning starts over fences at Newcastle last month. He moved into contention with a minimum of fuss and arguably had the race in safe keeping even before his closes pursuer came down at the last. With the likelihood of further improvement now, the 8lb rise meted out to him looks surmountable. Space Oddity may do better over this shorter trip while Mr Fitzroy isn't written off having perhaps needed the reappearance over hurdles. Ut Majeur Aulmes will likely offer his usual solid effort, but may again prove vulnerable at the death.
