Micky Hammond's Dawn Ride ran much better on his recent return when chasing home Snowy at Kelso earlier this month and he has every chance off just a 1lb higher mark today but KISHA KING is in great form at present and can complete a hat-trick with Wizards Dust looking the pick of the remainder. The selection was good value for his successes on consecutive days at Fontwell and Plumpton earlier this month and has solid claims of defying the 7lb penalty for his most recent win. Brendan Powell's Tora Bora was well held on his recent reappearance and looks best left out of calculations with a bigger threat likely to come from Pistol Basc. Ferdy Murphy's gelding showed improved form on his reappearance over course and distance and he has every chance if able to build on that effort. Sycho Fred has a bit to find with Wizards Dust on their running here earlier this month but there should not be much to choose between the pair in a race taken to go to Kisha King.
