Another low-graded event which makes little appeal but Kinabalu comes here in good heart and gets the vote. Stan Moore's charge had been showing some ability on the all-weather this winter and made a winning start to his turf campaign when landing a seller at Windsor earlier in the month. The form is nothing out of the ordinary but this race is no better and the three-year-old has conditions in his favour once again. Blanco was also successful in selling company last time but appeared to show improved form for the step up to ten furlongs and could prove vulnerable over this shorter trip. Sir Night and Leitrim Rock have both been in good form on the all-weather but have had their limitations exposed back on turf while Pic N Mix is probably best watched on her seasonal return.
