Cobra De Mai is on a roll but this is by far his stiffest task to date. Dream Bolt got back on track when scoring at Newton Abbot but that was over a much longer trip. De Faoithesdream is looking a light of former days but Katgary has been running well since returning from a lay-off, though still looks a few pounds too high. Noche De Reyes has been knocking on the door but is still 10lb higher than his last winning mark and Adrian Heskin prefers less-exposed stablemate BABY KING (NAP). The latter appeared to be going well when falling at Market Rasen after making a winning chasing debut at Wincanton and should take all the beating with a clear round.
