      Verdict

      LITTLE CARMELA is hardly an exciting choice in this race but she gets the nod ahead of Karmest and Eureka Moment. Stuart Williams' filly has won impressively over slightly further at Great Leighs and continues in good heart. She has never won here previously but opportunities for fillies of her calibre are in short supply so the decision has been made to go to the well again. Karmest represents a yard in form and can go well at a price. Her most recent run does need to be overlooked but she had run well at Southwell in December. Eureka Moment is respected from a top yard. She won well over 1m4f at Southwell but has not progressed since. Mark Brisbourne's yard are returning to form so don't rule out Gamesters Lady despite coming here off the back of a sizeable absence. Aga Khan cast-off, Mildoura, makes a British debut for Laura Mongan and is duly noted in the market. Brave Mave was strongly fancied at Southwell to follow up a success over course-and-distance but she proved a bitter disappointment on the day. Bluebell Ridge has won two races at Kempton in the past. Little Carmela deserves to be a warm order in the nightcap.
