Unusually for a Cumani inmate, Wistar scored at the first time of asking when successful at Yarmouth last June. He will be winning again this year but maybe not today as DUBAI HILLS is preferred. The latter does most of his winning at Southwell but has won off higher marks on Turf before and went very close at Redcar a week ago. Express Himself ended last season with a win at Nottingham and is only 3lb higher for his return but Kiwi Bay looks high enough in the weights having won over track and trip in August.
