Last year's winner Kayf Moss had an alternative engagement at Chepstow yesterday and looks to have it all to do to reverse Ffos Las running with SILSOL on worse terms. Paul Nicholls' six-year-old has won four of his last five and is clearly on the upgrade. He has 8lb in hand on Kilcooley according to official ratings and the latter needs to bounce back from being pulled up last time in the Lanzarote. Foxcub and Cannon Fodder appear to have little chance at the weights and Kayflin looks a long way out of her depth.
