Kikonga won this contest last year but is 5lb higher today and it's a more competitive renewal. The progressive Nullabor Sky defied a 10lb hike to score at Yarmouth last time while Tioga Pass shrugged off a 6lb rise in the weights to score at Goodwood. Arabian Comet went very close at York despite finishing only third and maiden winners Swan Lakes and Rewaaya have plenty of scope. The last comment also applies to KALLISHA, who followed a debut win at Sandown with a good effort in Listed company last time and gets a tentative vote in an open race.
