Verdict

A couple of these ran earlier this week with Downtown Dubai finishing third of five runners over a longer trip at Lingfield and FOINIX beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Kempton. The latter gets another chance in this. Last Stand steps back up in distance in first-time blinkers while Champagny makes her handicap debut and may improve.
