Verdict
Kadouchski got the better of MY VALLEY at Kempton in March but will do well to confirm that form here. The latter bounced back to winning ways back on the turf at Folkestone last month and can follow-up in this company off only a 3lb higher mark. Stormy Morning and Marcus Antonius have a bit to find with the selection on latest running and Kempton winner Mohanad could prove a bigger threat having gone close over C&D in October. Sunset Place has a penalty for his recent win over 1m5f at Brighton, but his half-brother Sun Hill won twice over today's trip and Jonathan Geake's charge could also figure.
