KING OF ICE started favourite on his reappearance at Chepstow but hardly saw daylight and has to be given another chance. Wait To Excel travelled well when tackling an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth but didn't appear to get home so this is more likely to be his trip. Birdie Putt has been beaten a long way in both starts and the chaser Monsieur Co is unlikely to have the pace for this.
