Most of these seem to have done their winning for the year and are struggling off higher marks. One exception is KIWI BAY, who has scored twice over C&D and is 4lb lower than his win here in October. It could be his turn today unless Charlie Cool can rediscover the form of his July win at York or hat-trick hero Regimental can bounce back from a poor effort in better company at Newcastle. Recent winners Toto Skyllachy, Munsarim and Koo And The Gang may be in the handicapper's grip now and Soccerjackpot should have done better in a claimer last time.
