Shifting Gold finished ahead of Licit over 1m4f at Newcastle in March but was still well beaten. Zoom Zoom Babe will strip fitter for a first run for new connections at Kempton but Engrave is a Chelmsford specialist who has only placed once so far on Turf. Western Beat showed she had trained on when fourth at Beverley and Reverential has been showing promise on Tapeta. Kalma won over track and trip last month but the ground may have turned against Alan King’s filly. MORJHANA is bred for this trip and she was out of her comfort zone on her final start last season. She reappears on a potentially-lenient mark and only 2lb higher than Kempton winner Something Enticing, who has been confined to Polytrack so far.
