It's no great surprise to see that MY MATE KEV has been handed an 8 lb rise for what was a convincing victory at Newmarket last month. There's little doubt that the new mark will make things tougher, but with 7 lb claimer Fred Daly again in the hot-seat he may well prove equal to the task. On Key finished nicely clear of the rest when runner-up over this C&D on his seasonal reappearance and he rates the main danger ahead of Mr Cool and Mae Amor.
