Verdict

KINGSLEY KLARION (NAP) began his winning run here in November and victories at Wolverhampton and Lingfield followed. He's up another 4lb but his latest success was in better class than this and a four-timer beckons. Alshaqee had been threatening to win before getting off the mark over the minimum here last month. He was conceding the runner-up, who is rated 67, 5lb and beat her just under a length so a mark of 77 looks fair. Hearmenow and Sir Dudley were beaten in a moderate handicap at Lingfield on Wednesday and will need to do better while Fast Enough ran poorly over 5f at Leicester in August after beating three rivals on fast going at Leicester.
