Dutch Uncle has had a similar chance on his last three starts now but has come up short on each occasion. KING KEVIN is preferred as he won here before going close again at Chelmsford last week and also makes more appeal than My Fantasea, who landed a lower grade contest over track and trip last month. Tan Arabiq posted a better effort over 1m4f last time and Manchego could go well slipping a further 2lb down the weights while Copper Baked has rejoined Karl Burke’s yard having won in France last summer.
