Kabeer can account for Ochre and Masterofthecourt. The selection won readily at the course and its no surprise to learn that connections are keen to race under a penalty before the assessor has his say. Ochre met trouble in running at Wolverhampton last time out and was unable to follow up a recent success at that course. Rebellious Spirit won here in January but that was off a lower mark. Masterofthecourt unseated Steve Drowne last time out and connections attempt to make a miler from their 10-furlong performer. Happy As Larry looks to have lost the plot these days while Shouldntbethere is interesting in receipt of weight. He suffered no disgrace in finishing close up behind Confidentiality and Nerys Dutfield's horses are finishing closer to winning than they had for a long time. Kamanda Laugh has dropped substantially down the weights and has to be watched in the market. Kabeer is in form and is likely to be priced accordingly.
