KHELEY was beaten less than two lengths by the rejuvenated Dickie Le Davoir on her last visit here and has produced good efforts on Fibresand subsequently. The mare looks well enough treated to deliver a deserved success. Cheveyo is 0-18 on all weather surfaces but produced a gutsy effort behind Spirit Of Coniston at Southwell on his penultimate outing and the booking of Jamie Spencer takes the eye. Almaty Express seeks a remarkable thirteenth course success but has it to do under topweight. Nevertheless he confirmed the fire still burns within when scoring here in January and it will be no surprise to see him involved once again. Figaro Flyer and Misaro are respected.
