Kemsing arrives in fine form having won three of his last four starts. But those three wins came on the Fibresand at Southwell and it could pay to take him on with SANTIBURI SPRING (NAP) on this faster surface. The latter failed by only a head to catch the winner at Kempton last time and with today's extra distance expected to suit, he can confirm running with both Highwayman and Stone Quercus. Refulgence did not improve as expected at Chelmsford recently but Dose finished closer at Wolverhampton and could figure dropping down a grade.
