A chance is taken on KAYF COMMANDER in what looks a competitive heat. He is entitled to strip fitter for his mid-division finish at Newcastle 27 days ago (first start since November) and has come good on his last couple of visits here. Over And Above is improving all the time and must go close if in the same form as when beaten a head into second at Newcastle latest, while Granwood and Oscar Stanley make up the shortlist.
