KOHINUR was an expensive failure at Kempton after only giving best close home on debut at Newmarket but it’s possible she didn’t enjoy the Polytrack. It will be a surprise if she’s beaten today getting 7lb from River Icon, who holds Clemency on Chester running and has won twice over hurdles at Cartmel this year. Though Sea Dweller is by High Chaparral, there must be a doubt about him staying this far and Princess Nearco is only rated 60 and having her tenth start.
