KEPLERS'S LAW has shaped with a good deal of encouragement on both starts over hurdles to date and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet, so he's narrowly preferred to penalised pair Barlovento and Land Afar in an intriguing small-field maiden.

    Verdict
    Bumper winner who made no mistake on his first outing over hurdles when landing a 14-runner novice at Carlisle (20f) in October, finishing well after conceding first run. Faced a stiff task attempting to concede 7-lb to a promising type at Warwick (21f) and remains with potential.

    Verdict
    Has clearly had his problems since showing fairly useful form in bumpers for Anthony McCann but retains plenty of ability based on what he's done over hurdles, scoring readily in a novice claiming event at Ludlow in December. Showed similar form behind a useful prospect at Huntingdon since. Player.
