    Verdict

    Veteran Kiwi Bay won at Ayr last month, but that was a much poorer contest and he’s no certainty to follow up here. Kenstone appears to be firmly in the grip of the handicapper and Royal Holiday will need a lot of rain to be competitive. Bold Spirit is stepped up in trip but is far from certain to be suited to a mile, so preference is for the lightly-raced RAYAA. She was dropped back to a mile at Lingfield last time and was making good progress late on, so the big field and likely stronger pace here will suit. She can take this ahead of Mango Chutney, who goes well at the course, and Tadaawol, who’s worth another try at this distance.
