Any easing of the ground would inconvenience Kempton third Ballycoe though his yard could not be in better form and Richard Johnson rides. Wade Harper could figure if on a going day but Kings Cross is even more difficult to predict and Court Dismissed has been well beaten in all races since scoring over further at Catterick more than a year ago. Willie Boy fell at the first on his chasing bow last week but should do better in time. DARTFORD WARBLER (NAP) lost all chance at the start when favourite at Carlisle nine days and, in the circumstances, did well to finish third. Dropped 2lb since, he is well treated over fences at present.
