The Paul Nicholls-trained gelding KALIF DU BERLAIS (4) made it three wins from four in hurdling contests with a penultimate run 1L triumph tackling the trip in a G2 encounter at Kempton. Smart prospect on chasing debut. Could take beating. After knocking on the door a number of times last season PATH D'OROUX (3) reappeared at Cheltenham validating favouritism getting off the mark in a four-runner affair. UNEXPECTED PARTY (2) enters calculations based on his second fences win in a Cheltenham G3 during March. Course and distance winner NELLS SON (1) is not out of this dropping in journey. Shortlist.
