KAUTO THE KING (4) broke through for a higher class handicap chase at Newton Abbot before disappointing at Worcester. Drops in standard and could be competitive. Leading chance. OPENING BID (2) has won three times from the past five outings. Steps up in level following a Warwick second tackling fences and deserves to do so maintaining a solid recent record. PINK EYED PEDRO (3) started last campaign with a win and tends to go well fresh. Resumes after a three month spell. QUOI DE NEUF (1) returned from a three month absence finishing ninth at Market Rasen. Entitled to improve.
