Having dropped in the weights, PILGRIMS KING showed that he retains his ability when third at Sedgefield 2 weeks ago and he can build on that effort to return to winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Ushuaia Dancer, who remains capable of better making only his second start in a handicap, while Pollyonesock is one to note on her stable/handicap debut.
