        Verdict

        Soros finished ahead of Gauntlet when fourth over today’s trip at Kempton while Arabian King and Sophar Sogood have done all their winning so far on the Fibresand at Southwell. Financial Conduct finally showed some improvement here having plummeted down the weights but a chance is taken on the less exposed DOUBLETHETROUBLE staying the extra distance. The latter was beaten only only a length over 1m6f at Yarmouth last time and may prove good enough in first-time headgear with Oisin Murphy on board. Dynali won here back in May and returns to the Polytrack for the first time since.
