INSTANT KARMA is 8lb higher than his last win on the Flat but has improved over hurdles since then and won at Stratford last month. He may prove good enough in an unappealing handicap. Cottesloe was runner-up over 1m2f here last time but in soft ground while Chebsey Beau has been in better form recently having slipped down the weights. Medina Sidonia looks to be treading water off his current mark and Gabrial The Duke is preferred to stablemate Comedy King as the latter has his first start of the year for new connections.
