        Verdict

        Kavi faces no easy task after his run at Lingfield on Saturday and a better bet may be Lucky Leo, who is preferred to Ezz Elkheil. The last mentioned has not always looked to be the most straightforward of rides but is well treated on his best and stays the trip well so cannot be discounted. Colophony is similarly well in at the weights but has not been in particularly good form of late and a bigger threat may come from Bubbling Fun, who won an apprentices' handicap over course and distance last time for which her 4lb rise looks fair. Neither Lennel nor Nantucket Sound make much appeal on recent evidence and preference is for Lucky Leo. The Ian Williams-trained gelding comes here without a recent run but his handler is very adept at sending one out fresh enough to win first time up and, given his pedigree, the son of Muhtarram should appreciate this surface. He looks worth a bet.
