BRIGHT ABBEY failed to take advantage of favourable terms and land the odds at Market Rasen in August but gets another chance here. This looks an easier task as Koultas King arrives in fine form chasing a hat trick, but has plenty to find with the selection at the weights. There was little to separate Larteta and Cloudy Joker when they finished third and fourth here respectively on their latest starts but both have some improving to do if they're to trouble the principals.
