Verdict
Runaiocht has been thereabouts over 1m2f lately and finished ahead of Apache Glory when runner-up here last month. But he's unproven over today's distance unlike AUTHORIZED SPIRIT, who opened her account over 1m4f at Kempton last time. That was her first start since September and with further progress expected, John Best's filly can go in again. Previous winner Cartographic has plenty to find with the selection on Kempton running but Sudden Wish may prove a bigger threat having gone very close over track and trip last week and racing off the same mark here.
