HAITI COULEURS created a good impression when proving too strong for Transmission (second choice) over 25f here in December. He warmed up for this with a good third over hurdles at Newbury and there should be more to come from him back over the larger obstacles. The shortlist is completed by Now Is The Hour and Captain Cody, who are closely matched on latest Navan maiden form and appeal as likely improvers now stepping up in trip for their handicap chase debuts.
