The veteran KIWI BAY (NAP) still looks capable of winning at this level judged on his recent second at Thirsk. That looks stronger form than Gambino's placed effort over track and trip last time and Michael Dods' charge rates the selection. Dark Ocean is upped 5lb after scoring in soft ground at Doncaster and Ginger Jack could only manage sixth here on his latest start having been raised the same amount for winning at Thirsk earlier. Musselburgh winner Mustaqbal has failed to figure since and Stoked finished last on his reappearance.
