    Verdict

    Kimblewick made a winning start over a mile at Kempton in November and is penalised for that success. She should stay this extra distance but so should DEREVO, a runner-up at Doncaster in October with a subsequent winner behind and partnered by Ryan Moore today, Sir Michael Stoute’s colt may just edge this. Hendrix was still well beaten when third over today’s trip at Lingfield in February and Mr Zoom Zoom will need to to improve on last year’s modest form to figure.
