Rated 65, Kelvin Hall finished runner-up at Kempton last time but was still six lengths behind the winner and Asafoetida will not have to improve much on her latest fourth to better that. Golden Chapter may also finish closer on this occasion having been sent off favourite at Kempton on her debut but managing only fourth, though the newcomer MALHAMA may be worth chancing. A half-sister to a winner in France, she is worth noting for any strong support in the betting representing an in-form yard.
