Verdict
Weald Of Kent took advantage of a drop in grade to score by seven lengths over track and trip last week but has more on his plate today under a penalty and may not be much of a price. WITH HINDSIGHT (NAP) has also won on the surface and has been racing over further lately so he's likely to be one of those who will benefit if Moon Arc adopts his customary front-running role. Steve Gollings' eight-year-old gets the nod with Wolverhampton third Indira yet to win on the all-weather. Dark Diamond may be best of the rest.
