Verdict

Kelvin Hall finally got her head in front when landing a maiden on the all-weather and makes less appeal in this. Blakeney Point, Monaco Rose and Hearty were all placed when stepped up in distance last time and could figure but Duck A L'orange and Press Gang were both well beaten on their first attempts at today’s trip. ST MICHEL steps up from a mile on his seasonal and handicap debut. He looks just the sort Sir Mark Prescott does so well with and any strong support in the betting may prove significant.
