KIE carries a penalty for his win at Kelso last month but his subsequent third behind Secret Edge in a Wetherby Listed contest suggested he's on the upgrade and this looks his for the taking. The other two with experience appear modest while Goninodaethat was beaten in a seller on the Flat here last month. Ryedale Dancer was much better than Red Lite on the Flat but her two wins came at the lowest level and there's no guarantee she'll stay this far.
