Kettlewell was fifth in a jumpers' bumper at Kempton after winning a Wolverhampton maiden on his debut on the Flat but doesn't look particularly well handicapped. A Little Bit Dusty only won a seller last time and While You Wait was beaten in a claimer but Bramshill Lass has claims on her first start since November as she's already won four times on the Polytrack, though she has ground to make up on ESHTYAAQ. David Evans' charge is still chasing a first victory on the all-weather but is eased in grade after his fifth at Wolverhampton and likely to strip fitter here.
