Verdict

ARIEL won over 7f at Kempton with a bit to spare and there should be more to come from Charlie Hills’ charge over this longer trip. Elusive Artist drops down in trip from 1m2f while Estad missed an engagement at Redcar yesterday and makes his handicap debut. Princess Layan and The Sedberghian are novice winners handicapping for the first time along with Empirestateofmind.
