Verdict
KYLLACH ME scored at Wolverhampton last time beating Louis Vee and Prigsnov Dancer in the process. He had a subsequent winner back in second and Bryan Smart's charge is worth sticking with on that form. Louis Vee beat Compton Prince on both occasions when landing a double in December but remains 9lb higher and the latter can reverse running but Burauq is only 2lb higher than his latest win at Kempton in November. Mary Ann Bugg won a Class 7 event here in October but hasn't threatened since.
