KOMMANDER KIRKUP (NAP) has tumbled 18lb down the weights since last winning and finally showed signs of a return to form when only beaten a head over track and trip last time. He’s taken to go one better ahead of Redcar runner-up Meandmyshadow. Charlie's Dreamer has a shout but was due to run at Chelmsford yesterday while Dandy Bird is one of the least exposed along with handicap debutante Lady Of The Lamp, but both have found Nuns Walk too good recently. The latter can figure back over 6f today and Roys Dream is another to consider.
