Prisom was narrowly beaten at Southwell recently when ahead of Basingstoke and Dr Red Eye and won her maiden at this venue. Captain K has yet to win anywhere and needs to step up on his recent course form. He was behind third-placed Fossa here earlier this month but the latter has not won since 2013 now. Recent runner-up Disclosure is also on a long losing run but KEENE’S POINTE won over 6f at Hamilton in September and has scored over track and trip before. He gets a speculative vote on his return from a lay-off.
