Kingdom Come missed the whole of last year but has won both starts over track and trip since returning to action. An impressive winner last time, he has a 15lb hike in the weights to contend with in this and is taken on with STREET KID (NAP). The latter was beaten only a neck in a competitive handicap at Southwell last month and is also preferred to the returning Rainbow Fire. The latter won at Newbury in September while All The King's Men scored at Lingfield back in January but this is tougher.
