Verdict

Barwah is penalised for a course and distance win during the week and is also upped in class. West Leake went close in a lower grade at Lingfield last time and Clement scored at the same track under today's apprentice last month. Polar Kite is a course and distance winner but without a win since 2013 and Tychaios remains 5lb higher than his win at Epsom in September. KINGS CHAPEL needs to improve but may well do so on only his third start handicapping and Jeremy Gask's charge gets a tentative vote to land this.
