Difficult to be confident about any of these. Kenswick finished just ahead of Roman Flame with Rasteau well beaten over a shorter trip here last time but has been back on a winning mark for some time without taking advantage. By Implication showed a bit more when runner-up over C&D last month and he could figure while So Is She is mostly consistent and should be in the firing-line in this company. Tigerbill has outside claims on his seasonal return but a speculative vote goes to HUBOOD, who faded close home when third at Folkestone last time and looks set to get off the mark here with a decent apprentice on board.
