Douze Points failed to cope with a 13lb rise for his earlier C&D victory when runner-up here last month. But the handicapper has raised him another couple of pound anyway and PICCOLO EXPRESS makes more appeal. He gets another chance over today's distance having scored over 7f at this track in February. Mr Chocolate Drop was ending a year long losing streak when winning at Kempton last time but is back up in the weights while Pitkin has a bit to find with the selection on running here earlier in the year.
