      Verdict

      KEEP KICKING won twice over today's trip at Lingfield early last year and found 1m4f too short on his latest start. He gets the vote ahead of Adili, who stays the distance well enough but has done his winning on the all-weather at Southwell so far. Reach The Beach scored at the same track in November but Karam Albaari has yet to race over further than 1m4f. Bold Adventure was still well beaten when third at Kempton last time and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
