LOUIS VEE went close to landing a hat-trick over 7f last week despite carrying 6lb extra for an earlier success over course and distance when beating Fujin. He should make another bold bid while Hamis Al Bin also arrives in fine form having won two of his last three starts but is upped 6lb. John Coffey has been thereabouts of late and Kyllach Me posted a better effort over track and trip last time. Divine Call is back on a winning mark but Zebs Lad has struggled since scoring here in November.
