Verdict
Rich Waters won by a head over today’s trip at Kempton but is penalised and a couple of these may improve for the step up in distance. Ibn Arabi took a step forward when placed over 6f here last time but SHALANEZ was doing his best work in the closing stages over the same trip at the track on his debut and may prove the one to side with. Batraan and Numoor look likely to improve for yards in fine form while Duke Of Prussia is a full brother to a Listed winner and a half-brother to a host of other winners and is a newcomer to note.
