HIMSELF (11) shed the maiden tag at the nineteenth time of asking when a head winner at Newcastle last time. Weight rise looks fair and confidence will be high now bidding to go back to back. GRAND DUCHESS OLGA (3) was beaten a long-neck into second at Southwell on reappearance. That was a good effort and should only progress from that. Key player. ZOOKS (8) has hit the frame on all three starts so far this campaign. Clearly in good form and top jockey booked to ride. Easy to fancy. DAARIS (5) has placed on 26 of 43 career starts. Likeable gelding that always seems to give his running. Big way way chance once more.
