Kilbricken Storm will need to jump with more fluency than on his chasing debut if he is to be a leading player, but he will have been well schooled and may be more proficient this time. He is not opposed lightly, but in SANTINI he faces a rival of huge potential over fences. The selection has been spoken of in glowing terms by connections and now gets his chance to show what he can do. Le Breuil already boasts a fair level of form, Rocky's Treasure looks a talented recruit to chasing and Mr Big Shot has plenty of potential so this promises to be a high-class and informative contest.
