Verdict

ZHIGGY'S STARDUST needed only to be pushed out to land a double at Kempton. Henry Candy's charge may have at least one more win in him before the handicapper catches up and a hat-trick looks on the cards. Alnoomas has a shout off his current mark and Street Power finally showed some progress for his slide down the weights at Bath last time. A dual winner over track and trip, Polar Venture returns from a short break and may do better while Slip Sliding Away has claims on last season's best form.
