      Verdict

      Dower House is selected ahead of Poseidon's Secret and Turner's Touch. Dower House is unpenalised for his apprentice-race course and distance win last time and, still competitively weighted, looks set to go well. Prime Powered is weighted to go well but he was last time at Kempton but failed to pick up after holding his chance. Maybe this surface will suit better. Poseidon's Secret was not disgraced on his first try in handicap company last time and a stronger pace today will suit. Will he get it, though? Red Birr still needs to prove it from his current mark, but Turner's Touch is also unpenalised for a narrow course and distance win and holds his chance here. With Musango up seven for a c/c win, we return to the selection, Dower House.
