Verdict

Elusive Guest bids for a hat-trick having landed a double with a victory at Kempton where he had Loyalty back in fifth. Supersta's winning run came to came end off today's mark here last week though he should confirm earlier superiority with Kalon Brama while Pretty Bubbles tends to do her winning over 7f nowadays. Zaeem has looked high enough in the weights since scoring at Brighton back in June but ONE PEKAN (NAP) went very close off a similar mark here last month when beaten only a short-head and Roger Varian's charge should figure in the finish with a similar effort.
