KAASIB was only beaten a neck at Windsor having recovered from a stumble and failing to get a clear run. He should be winning at this level on that evidence and Clive Cox’ colt can confirm running with Democracy Dilemma. The latter has a couple of lengths to find with the selection. Bolt Of Thunder and Gemcutter are out of winning sprinters and Papabella’s half-sister won as a two-year-old but the market will be the best guide to their chances.
