COUSIN KHEE was well backed when making a winning return to hurdling at Stratford last week. He's lightly raced for his age and should be capable of defying a penalty and a welter burden against modest opposition. Best of them may be Bigindie, who won at Southwell in June and was sent off favourite when fourth in a better race at Stratford next time. French import Beau Bay may need more time and softer going while Breaking Bits is best watched following a lengthy absence.
