NOBBY KIVAMBO continues to run well but gets little respite from the handicapper as a result. This, however, looks such an ordinary contest that it would be no surprise if Brendan Powell's top weight were finally to get the reward his consistency deserves. Credible opposition looks thin on the ground but veteran Toni Alcala has always had stamina in abundance and will have needed his comeback run over C&D last month. More Equity is often placed but still 3lb higher than her last winning mark while Burnthill may do better when his attention is switched to the larger obstacles.
