It was only a seller that Elspeth's Boy won at Redcar last time and he's up against much better rivals here, while stablemate Triple Eight was still beaten 11 lengths when third at Ayr last month. Munsarim made the frame over the extended mile here recently and scored over 1m2f at Newcastle earlier in the year. He has claims on that running, but with most of the remainder struggling for form the vote goes to KIDLAT. He was beaten only a couple of lengths at Kempton on Wednesday and off a 3lb lower mark today than when scoring at the same track back in March, Alan Bailey's charge is fancied to return to winning ways.
