Verdict

STAFFA is upped 6lb for winning at Wolverhampton a week ago but returned a clear winner and Denis Coakley’s filly should confirm running with third-placed Swendab. The latter usually saves his best for Kempton but Frank The Barber pops-up when in the mood though it’s hard to predict when that will be. Pushkin Museum landed a double at Wolverhampton earlier in the year but remains 7lb higher and the rest are harder to fancy.
