Mister Mackenzie finished just ahead of Casa Bex over 6f at Kempton earlier this month and both have claims here, though the former was engaged to run back at Kempton yesterday. A winner over 6f at Wolverhampton, Chambles wasn't disgraced off today's higher mark last time and she's preferred to the more exposed Illustrious Lad and Songbird Blues. Princess Maya is open to improvement, but so is NAUGHTICAL, who will be looking to build on her latest close-up third over today's trip at Kempton and gets the vote on her handicap debut.
