KILLANE quickly dispelled a blip (ran out at Southwell) when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and a 5 lb rise ought not prevent another bold bid for Donald McCain's low-mileage 6-y-o. Fellow last-time-out winner's Spark of Madness and Cancan are also fancied to be firmly in the mix.
