Better is expected from Kyleakin Lass after finishing a well beaten second over 5f at Kempton a fortnight ago with Lady Gibraltar behind, as she'd gone close over today's trip before that. Art Show is another likely to improve on her handicap debut, though October's Nottingham nursery winner Guava is 8lb higher here. STAR KINGDOM showed a bit more at Newbury last time and Robert Mills' colt gets the nod on his first start in a handicap as further progress looks likely and his half-brother scored on the Polytrack.
