Verdict
KITBAG started handicapping off a much higher mark last autumn and finally showed some improvement when runner-up at Wolverhampton recently. He can confirm running with Sajwaan and go one better. Sumac has been in better form lately with placed efforts over today’s trip but Victory House drops down in trip and the less exposed Ghost Lights is preferred on his handicap debut.
