In depth

Verdict

Kyllachy Spirit found one too good over 1m2f here last time but has plenty to prove over this extra distance. KING OLAV went close over today's trip at Kempton on his penultimate start and he makes more appeal if producing a similar effort. Perfect Rhythm looks to be treading water off her current mark but the veteran Salient still pops-up on occasions and scored off a slightly higher mark here in April. A Little Bit Dusty has been hurdling but is not badly treated on last year's wins on the all-weather.
