Verdict

Connections feared for her life when KHELEY was pulled up at Kempton in February but she has bounced back so well from an injury that we will side with her again following a comprehensive Catterick success earlier this month. Mark Brisbourne's daughter of Kheleyf is a course and distance winner and although she has a 6lb rise in the weights for her latest victory, her improvement may not be over. She has a good draw, gets on well with Liam Jones and looks a sprinter to keep on the right side of. Steel City Boy has a good record on the all-weather; he is another who has a bit to find off his new mark but it would be unwise to take his challenge lightly. Espy has had a frustrating season so far and the handicapper is slow to relent, Punching still looks high enough in the weights, whilst Tudor Prince has put in some of his best efforts on an artificial surface. Gurteen Diamond finally broke her duck last time out at the track; that looked a weak maiden but she hasn't been with her new yard for long and confidence may now be high. Stablemate Fyododor, the well-treated Chasca, and the consistent Halaak all join the in-form Convince on a list of dangers, however for the winner we are happy to return to Kheley.
