KI KI won a higher grade sprint over track and trip last time and gets a tentative vote in an open contest. But she needs to reverse earlier running with Spirit of Zebedee, who bids for hat-trick having won again at Lingfield recently with Disclosure behind. Ambitious Icarus won over the minimum trip here last time while Epeius went close in a maiden over course and distance in November. Grecian King is a handicap debutant to note making his debut for David Barron on his return from a lengthy lay-off.
