Dinner Date can oblige here at the expense of My Mirasol and Magic Warrior. The selection has been in good nick around Kempton Park of late and as he is from an unfashionable yard, there is every chance that he could be put in at a bigger price than his form entitles. My Mirasol was put in as a short price favourite for a seller at Wolverhampton. There was no hiding the fact that this was a below par effort and he has plenty of questions to answer as a consequence. Magic Warrior has winning form over shorter so the market is consulted on a step up in trip. Sir Haydn should not lack for fitness as he has recently been seen out over hurdles. Recalcitrant is not the same force on this surface as she is on turf. Just Intersky is worth a look over this trip after his latest performance. Ella Y Rossa appears best of the rest. Dinner Date can carry top weight to victory in an ordinary affair.
