Verdict

Having tacked across from his wide draw at Wolverhampton last time, it could be the slower ground on the inside rail contributed to KIDLAT's below par effort. He had shown consistently the best form of these beforehand and this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Fashionable Girl looks the main threat but she's stepping up in class, while Bavarica was easily outpointed by the selection at Kempton last month. Shared Moment's four wins have all been over a mile and Alhaban remains out of sorts.
