Verdict

Peter Bowen's stable is enjoying a strong end to the season and KING KASYAPA could be another winner for the Pembrokeshire handler. The nine-year-old was racing from out of the handicap when runner-up to Flying Award at Wincanton nine days ago and effectively races off a 4lb lower mark here. With Donal Devereux's claim worth a further 3lb, he should prove hard to beat. Body Gold won at Taunton in February but was tailed off at Hereford last month while Brilliant seems to reserve his best for Fakenham nowadays and is only a plater at best. Sovereign Spirit remains in the handicapper's grip so Insignia, well backed at Newton Abbot last time and now tried in blinkers, may be the pick of the remainder.
