In depth
Verdict
Cote d'Azur came good over 7f at Kempton last time and can go well again, despite a penalty. Criminalistic also has claims having missed out by only a head over track and trip last week. Chepstow winner Senza Una Donna drops back down in class and is not out of this while Sark could also go well on his handicap debut. RATEEL comes into the reckoning on his third over course and distance when seven lengths clear of the rest - James Tate's charge gets the nod in an open contest.
