Kingsholm is likely to trade at a short price following his Beverley victory on Tuesday but with the benefit of a good rider on board there and the race run to suit it may well have been that he was flattered by his margin of victory. He remains well weighted on the best of his form but there are others in the race that should provide some value and we will side with READY TO CROWN, who despite not scoring since landing a bumper at Huntingdon last winter has showed that he should be capable of landing a handicap in the near future. Semi Detached and Very Well Red are both exposed but would have each claims. The last named has course winning form although his turf form of late leaves something to be desired. Confide In Me, a half brother to Confidential Lady, is lightly raced and certainly indicated that he is capable of winning a handicap on his debut in the grade last time. Ready To Crown is nominated to land this handicap for the Andy Turnell yard.
