FormscanBy Gary Carson - CAPTAIN KANGAROO has an official rating of 126 and should be good enough to get his head in front now over timber. The Mastercraftsman gelding won his bumper in good style last season and was in the money on his first four outings over hurdles. He was last seen finishing mid-division in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and this looks an easier task now. Not Available is an obvious threat having been placed twice in decent maiden hurdles. He was turned over at a short price in Tramore on New Year's Day but ran into a decent sort in Mr Coldstone then. Smokey The Bandit was also runner-up last time but was beaten a long way by Mercury Lane over three miles here last month on heavy ground. God Help Us is another that brings placed form into this and also has to come into calculations.
