Most of these have been competing here in the past few weeks and King's View has another attempt at losing his maiden tag at the 47th time of asking. He finished behind Collective Power when the latter was beaten a neck a fortnight ago and Eddie Lynam's charge should make a bold bid go one better. Cometh The Man was around three lengths behind under Colin Keane and had earlier finished about the same distance behind BROKERS TIP when Darren Bunyon's charge led for a long way over 6f last month and was only collared close home. Hero Of The Hour and Hodd's Girl were close behind and the selection can hopefully hang on having a rare start over the minimum. Two Metres Apart was only just over a length behind Collective Power here in November but hasn't raced subsequently.
