Bartack tends to save his best for Kempton while Solar Spirit's earlier second over track and trip came in plating company. It was soft ground when Piceno won here last month and he's 4lb higher today and the last of Conry's four wins over course and distance came back in 2012. But Shamaheart posted a better effort at Pontefract on his latest start and Bogsnog won off a similar mark on the Polytrack in March. Mishaal has a shout, but KOSIKA is the least exposed and gets the vote after a third at Brighton on her handicap bow.
