Verdict

Maiden handicaps featuring older horses are rarely attractive betting opportunities and this is no exception. Prince Rock unquestionably has the best form in the book this season but all his good work has arrived on synthetic surfaces and he's yet to make the frame in any of six starts on the grass. The best of Praxedis would see her in the mix but she has always disappointed with cut in the ground and therefore KELLINGTON KITTY is a hopeful choice to get off the mark at the 13th attempt as her latest third at Brighton at least showed she comes here with a decent run to her name of late. The ground is a concern for her too though. Tina Teaspoon is an each-way shout.
