CEPHALUS has been in the form of his life this winter, winning twice and filling the runner-up position on his other 2 outings, and with the form of his recent Kempton success appealing as strong, he's taken to overcome a wider-than-ideal draw. King of York has made the frame for 7 consecutive starts and can give another good account, with last-time-out winner Valentinka and Soames Forsyte others to consider.
