Dubawi Island will be fancied to complete the hat-trick after victories at Bangor and Plumpton but won't find it easy to give the weight to last month's progressive Huntingdon third MAY BE SOME TIME, who gets the nod. Morning Reggie has hinted at ability and is the other one to note as Chicoria, fourth in a bumper last time, makes his hurdling debut.
