There are question marks hanging over most of these with ATTIMO 4lb higher than when only beaten a neck here last month. However, Sam Drake's charge will never get a better chance to break his duck as King Of The Dark is held on that run. Court Of Law is still dropping down the weights but has yet to show much sign of a revival and Personal Shopper has managed just one win in 50 career starts. Hi Bob's form figures look a true reflection of his current form.
