Verdict
Welease Bwian is difficult to win with but goes well here and has a decent draw. There are also possibilities about Jammy Guest and Pettochside while Birdie Queen and Brazen Spirit are just starting to edge down the weights again. Secret Witness would have made short work of these in his heyday but is on a long losing run which now stretches back to 2012. DOUGAN drops back another furlong after getting off the mark at Kempton but is by Dutch Art so should have the speed to cope and he is a lot more scope than any of today's rivals.
