£50,000 purchase out of unraced sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser Hidden Cyclone. Went close sole start in points and has made a promising start to Rules career, finishing second in a Stratford bumper and third in an Aintree novice hurdle. Drop to 16.9f looked against him at Newcastle.

Brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Blue Baloo and went close on his completed start in maiden points last December. Subsequently changed hands for £160,000 and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting on Rules debut in a winnable race.

KAKA'S COUSIN changed hands for £160,000 following a runner-up effort in a point and with his yard going better now, this looks a maiden there for the taking. Centurion's Sister receives weight from most and she can make her presence felt again, while this step back up in trip will suit Ballyeaston.
