Verdict
COUSIN KHEE was narrowly beaten in this grade at Southwell in November and has subsequently been placed in higher class handicaps. Hughie Morrison's charge looks sure to run his race and is preferred to Ridgeway Storm. The latter is upped only 2lb after beating Purple Spectrum a length at Kempton last month but that pair are closely matched, as are Watt Broderick and Rowlestone Lass on collateral form.
