Verdict

KABRIT (NAP) failed to deliver the expected goods last time at Windsor but possibly ruined his chance when rearing at the gate. His previous run when a good third to Beringer at Sandown has been franked by the winner's excellent show when runner-up in a competitive York contest and Andrew Balding's charge is well worth another chance over the extra 2f. Gripper produced a career-best last time at Kempton and looks a danger, although this is the first time he's been seen on turf, whilst Pentland Hillls produced a better effort last time too and looks on the improve. The Tuite team is in better heart now and Surrey Blaze could represent them well, although he seems better on an artificial surface.
