Kodiak Attack remains 5lb higher than when scoring on the Turf track here last summer while WINGS OF A DOVE has yet to win anywhere. But the latter has tumbled down the weights in the last year and may well figure in a weak contest dropping down in class. San Juan finished in front of Captain Ryan in a classified race at Wolverhampton last time while Perfect Symphony won off a higher mark here last term.
