Verdict

A modest looking race for the grade that is likely to go to one of the front two in the market. Kestrel Dot Com improved dramatically on his maiden form when winning a fast ground handicap at Leicester, but he could be outclassed by BATTLEMENT. The Dansili filly has been consistent on the all-weather, winning twice and finishing a close second and she ran with promise at this course in May.
