CONE DONKEY was caught in the closing stages of a maiden by Alive And Kicking over 6f here a fortnight ago. She showed plenty of early pace on that occasion and the furlong shorter trip today in soft ground should play to her strengths. Wish Again went close in a handicap at the same meeting last time and has been raised 5lb for his trouble though he did have Majestic Breeze, Tuibama, Economic Crisis and Lord Buffhead all well beaten, while Laura's Bairn arrives on the back of a second success at Southwell in February and has a 7lb rise to contend with. Just Like Heaven could prove best of the rest on his return to action.
