This looks on the sharp side for April's Chepstow winner Kayfton Pete while Dormouse has two ways of running and Aviso's only recent win was in Guernsey. XENOPHON didn't do a lot wrong when runner-up to the in-form Jolly Roger over C&D 10 days ago and, with McCoy doing the steering again, will be fancied to go one better. He certainly makes more appeal than fellow four-year-old Dubawi Dancer. Della Sun has never won in this country but is finally starting to come down the weights and might be thereabouts today.
