      Verdict

      Ishikawa went close at Kempton on his penultimate start which means he's getting no respite from the handicapper. He remains 8lb higher than last year's win at this track. Smokethatthunders has shown his best form over 7f so far but the veteran Dubai Dynamo is back on a winning mark with a recent run under his belt and could figure. Our Boy Jack and Moccasin are having their first starts of the year, so the vote goes to SKYTRAIN, who showed signs of a return to form when runner-up here last week.
