KIMONA MY HOUSE has struck up a profitable partnership with Rosie Jessop and the female duo can team up for the fourth time here. Smarty Socks and Greek Theatre look the two biggest threats to James Given's filly. A three time course and distance winner, Kimona My House is unpenalised for her successes in an apprentice contest here last time. Smarty Socks, put back-to-back victories together before being beaten in the opener at Doncaster on Saturday. He had a tough race but if none the worse for that effort he should be thereabouts once again. Greek Theatre races off a 5lb higher mark to the mark which he scored off last time out. Connections clearly felt he had his conditions as he attracted support at big prices. West End Lad is rather one-paced in the closing stages of his races and the step up to one mile should suit but Kimona My House is the nomination.
