Verdict

Course specialist Apache Pilot won this last year when 6lb higher and was only beaten a short-head over 2m4f here last week so there is every chance of a repeat. Solid Strike won over 2m4f here in March but does stay this trip whereas Bocasien Desbois is best over distances short of 3m. THE ROAD HOME has been knocking on the door and had Ueueteotl behind when second last time at Kelso. He won over 3m between the flags so the step up in trip shouldn’t be a problem.
