Bangor second Kilkenny Kim was withdrawn from a race at Wetherby yesterday and has claims if she turns up here instead. Discoverie finally got off the mark at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and could easily follow up off a 6lb higher mark but Northern Acres has got nowhere near since returning from his summer break. SEE THE LEGEND is still a pound higher than his last winning mark two years ago but goes well here and looks capable of reversing Carlisle running with Amore Mio over this shorter trip. Cape Arrow is only moderate but the four-year-old might run into a place at decent odds.
