Koybig is 4-34 around here and has dropped to a mark he's capable of winning from. He finished just behind Kudbegood when they occupied the places behind Indiana Grey last time, with Anjah close up in fifth, and there's little between that trio here. THE BOG BANK wasn't far behind Indiana Grey here earlier and has performed well in both subsequent starts, beaten a short-head by Ellabella earlier this month. He's 0-21 but a repeat would see him go close. Royal Scholar had been running very well before getting upset in the stalls last time and is expected to do much better here.
