ZE KING was beaten less than a length when third at Wolverhampton three weeks ago - he may finally get off the mark in this. Edge had plummeted down the weights before finishing third in an amateurs' event at Leicester in October and may figure while Rough Courte won a couple of plating races last term and this is not much tougher. Tahaf won in Ireland last year before joining Mark Brisbourne and drops in class for this.
