Verdict
BAHKIT (NAP) was well behind Ascot Week over a mile here in December but that’s too short for Philip Kirby’s gelding nowadays. He was back to form when second at Redcar earlier this month and the booking of Paul Hanagan catches the eye back here. Perceived has plenty of form which entitles her to respect but she is now 0-19 on the all-weather and 3lb out of the handicap today. Remmy D has become disappointing but Kwanza remains unexposed and led for a long way on her return to action at Lingfield.
