Verdict
SUHAILAH won over C&D in December and was not beaten far off today's mark at Kempton on her latest start behind Adoyen Spice. This looks easier and Mike Attwater's mare is taken to return to winning ways. Our Kes dead-heated with the progressive Carter last month and is weighted to finish closer to the selection after finding her nearly five lengths too good earlier. Rosenblatt has tumbled down the weights and did a little better at Wolverhampton last time as a result, while the unexposed Harrys is worth noting on his handicap debut.
