KYBOSH failed to last home over a longer trip here last time but had fared much better in a couple of starts over course and distance before that and gets another chance in a weak contest with headgear fitted today. Ocean Air travels over from Ireland having won over a mile at Hamilton last year while Is It Off is another upped in distance under last year’s winning apprentice. Earl Of Bunnacurry may do better on only his second outing for new connections but it’s difficult to make a case for any of the rest.
