Killay has only had three runs and though an easy winner of a Salisbury maiden has a big weight to carry on her handicap debut. WARSAW ROAD can take this as his one defeat in his last three came on soft going and he battled on well at Yarmouth when third-placed Multicultural was a disappointing favourite. Pursuing Steed is the only course and distance winner in the line-up though the assessor may now have his measure after his four-timer while Katheefa looked ideally suited by some give at Chepstow. Dourado has benefited from a change of stables though his two recent victories have been at a lower level.
