Verdict
FRASERS HILL is a rare runner at this track for Roger Varian but his second at Kempton to subsequent Sandown winner, Queensberry Rules, is easily the best form on offer. He gets the vote ahead of Newcastle third Ebony Express and Pacific Heights, who is dropping back down in trip. Maputo finished second on his debut at Ripon but that was in May last year while Naaz is better judged on his earlier placed effort at Yarmouth rather than his recent poor run at Kempton.
