KATIYMANN (NAP) is on a long losing run but was racing from a 19lb higher mark at this time a year ago and looked on the way back when runner-up to Foreign Legion last month. Dark Magic is 1-28 on the all-weather but has been narrowly beaten here in three of his last four starts. He was just over 2 lengths behind Kudbegood last month but was conceding 13lb and should have no difficulty reversing the form. Koybig is a regular winner around here but has been beaten three times from this mark recently while Chelmsford winner Well Suited has been looking a few pounds high.
