Verdict
KAY SERA and Par Three are hard to separate having both won over a similar trip to this at Chelmsford on their respective latest starts. The former gets a token vote to go in again in an unappealing handicap. Stonecoldsoba has been thereabouts over shorter trips lately and finished ahead of Kilim and Ali Bin Nayef when third here last time while Cosmic Tigress is best over further and the remaining pair are even harder to fancy.
