KASHMIR PEAK (NAP) failed to figure in a more competitive event at Leopardstown last time but won at Doncaster before that. He can effectively race off a lower mark here with a conditional's allowance taken into account and gets the nod ahead of Emral Silk. The latter won well at Catterick last month but is upped 9lb while Raktiman has been raised 4lb for finishing second at Fakenham last time. Orsippus and Powerstown Dreams can get involved if fully primed for their return to action but Huntingdon winner Rendezvous Peak is upped in class.
