In depth

Verdict

Pearl looks one more suited by hurdling these days, Paint The Town Red is out of form and Babilu faded when last seen at Kempton over this trip. Bushy Dell will enjoy retuning to the Polytrack as she has struggled to have an impact on the Fibresand at Southwell and back to a realistic looking mark she could get more involved here. Taste The Wine has more to find and connections will hope the hold up tactics of Richard Hughes may reap the dividends. Chocolate Caramel has won over this trip before but a bigger threat may come in the form of Red Kestrel. Although Kevin Ryan's gelding has only won once from sixteen starts, he stayed on well last time and today's increase in trip could well be suitable. Our vote goes to RESPLENDENT ACE who won last time out here and although unexposed over this trip he has the best form on offer and off only 4lb higher is taken to score again.
