SKY KHAN has been competing in better company than this of late and ran well for fourth in a Class 2 contest at Newcastle last time. He finished ahead of Desoto County on that occasion and gets the vote. By contrast, Discoverie looks to facing a tougher task than when third at Sedgefield last month but Neville Woods is back on the same mark as when scoring over track and trip last May. Captain Brown has slipped down the weights and Exclusive Waters is not without a shout handicapping over hurdles for the first time.
