King Of Tsavo is upped in trip on his reappearance having been gelded since winning at Kempton in December. He’s 10lb higher today while DUBAWI SANDS (NAP) faced a tough task on the slow going at Newbury on his handicap debut. The latter had won nicely on fast ground at Ripon before that and gets another chance at this lower level. Sir Rumi ran well under a penalty at Lingfield and makes his handicap bow while Skycutter had stronger form than Aggagio in France and both debut for new connections. Orgetorix may improve for the longer trip and is preferred to Innse Gall of the rest.
