Plenty of these have been competing on the all-weather including Hedge End, fourth in better company at Wolverhampton last time. Kempton third Dolphin Village also has a shout off his current mark and Graffiti Art is another placed at Kempton recently along with ARC LIGHTER. A winner in France, the latter started life in this country off a mark of 99 but has dropped 14lb since then and a bold bid is expected in this. King Calypso ended last season in good form on the all-weather and Jebril may get involved on his return to the Flat.
