Kensington should be hard to beat here, with Dolce Piccata and La Vie Est Belle seen as the main dangers. Kensington did not beat much at Ripon on his latest start, but did well just to score considering that he swerved to the right when coming out of stall 10. Connections were not surprised by his victory as her had earlier been punted from 6-1 down to 5-2 at Chepstow but was beaten by the draw. He remains an animal of potential and makes most appeal here with a good draw in stall three today. Dolce Piccata is housed out wide but does have the assistance of Brazilian Nelso De Souza who has been impressing everyone this season. La Vie Est Belle has shown enough to warrant support, and along with course and distance winner Saviours Spirit and Peter Chapple-Hyam's Dandouce, adds to an interesting contest. Kensington has plenty more to offer though and is the one to beat.
