Downhill Skier won an amateurs' race over C&D last time and should give another good account, but will do well to confirm placings on worse terms with the runner-up YOUNG SIMON. The latter had won at Kempton on his previous start with Memphis Man a length behind and remains on a winning mark. Welcome Approach ended a long losing run when successful here last month but a 5lb rise may spoil his chances today, and Lake Chini could prove a bigger threat if reproducing her best turf form.
