An unreliable bunch but KODICAT finished in front of Dreamboat Annie when runner-up over track and trip last time and gets a token vote to go one better. Dollar Value went close at Wolverhampton earlier but has disappointed since and Lethal Angel’s best recent effort came in maiden company. Alkashaaf slides further down the weights but looks no nearer winning and the veteran Divine Call was last successful in 2016.
