KINROSS proved well suited by the drop back to 7f when scoring at Haydock last time and this very talented son of Kingman might be capable of defying a 3 lb penalty. Glorious Journey was 2¾ lengths behind the selection in third at Haydock and this consistent sort should get a bit closer on the revised terms. Motakhayyel would also have a big part to play if recapturing his Bunbury Cup form.
