THE KVILLEKEN won at Stratford and Market Rasen in the summer but doubts remain over his effectiveness over 2m4f and he was only third off this mark at Exeter eight days ago. However, he is proven on fast ground unlike maidens Loch Garman and The Cider Maker so is probably the one to beat. The latter's stablemate East Hill has no worthwhile form and races from 11lb out of the handicap.

The Kvilleken 14-1 (10-4) Held up and behind, headway approaching 3 out, 3rd 2 out, one pace and held when hit last, 3rd of 10, 6 3/4l behind Mystifiable (11-0) at Exeter 2m 3f hcp (4) gd in Oct.
