Not a race to be dogmatic about and close attention should be paid to the way the betting market unfolds before getting heavily involved. However, Kindle Ball arrives here on the back of a good effort at Southwell last time and is confidently expected to cope with the step up in trip. Kentford Grebe is also penalised for a recent win and should not be too far away again if holding her form - whereas Bell Tor and Rare Vintage have a little to prove and are best watched for now. The same can also be said of Motcombe and Hylia, who are both entitled to improve as they become more experienced. Therefore, a process of elimination brings us back to Kindle Ball, who looks the safest option despite the likelihood of cramped odds.
