Kind Review beat North Wind and Be Proud when scoring over track and trip and went close again over 6f here a week ago. He’s preferred to Duke Of Firenze, who has been competing at Southwell over the winter and won a lower grade sprint at the latter track last time, but a couple of these are more at home at this level. Lomu may well figure in the finish but the veteran WATCHABLE won three times off higher marks last year and is taken to return to form back over today’s minimum trip.
