Verdict

BOBBY KENNEDY was a 200/1 chance in his two previous starts before failing by a short-head to justify support at Wolverhampton where he was caught on the line. He can go one better after being raised just 1lb. Rwanda Mist didn't quite get the run of the race on his return to action at Chelmsford but still managed to finish in front of Namaste while Tajdid failed to justify favouritism in a poor contest at Wolverhampton and takes a step up in trip.
