Recent rain may not have done the hat-trick seeking The Kvilleken any favours. Spending Time still has plenty to prove and Hassadin has two ways of running but Micras should be capable of better and blinkers replace the usual visor. DUKE'S AFFAIR is a speculative selection as he hasn't run since April of last year and has still to sparkle over timber. But he had some fair form in bumpers earlier and represents a yard that can get them ready at home.
