Kadouchski is only 3lb higher than when successful in this 12 months ago and has been in decent form again this season. Specialagent Alfie was placed twice at Plumpton last month and should go well again, but Egypt Mill prince has been racing over further and doesn't look particularly well treated on his handicap debut. There are five four-year-olds taking on their elders and the pick of them may be UNEX PICASSO, who was won on the all-weather since beating Rasam Aldaar at Huntingdon in November and may be capable of further improvement. Memorabilia, a fair fourth at Market Rasen last month, could provide the biggest threat.
