Big Rig’s strike-rate is off-putting and he’s having a first run since Presque Isle in October but he does have the past form to figure in a race of this quality. THE KAHN is fancied to get Gerald Bennett and Samy Camacho off to a positive start, however, even though beaten a long way when second here two weeks ago. There is nothing of the winner’s quality in this and Upper Crown has more than three lengths to find on that run having finished ahead of Sunshines Out earlier.
