SHUT THE BOX has yet to get his head in front over fences but has shaped with promise on each of his 3 starts and looks the way to go on the back of an excellent third in a jumpers bumper at Kempton. Dual winner Est Illic is fancied to chase him home now he reverts to handicap company, with C&D winner Defi Sacre also worth a second look in refitted cheekpieces.
