Verdict
Phoenix Flight and Chookie Hamilton were placed over 2m at Kempton last time and look sure to run their races once again but this looks between the two three-year-olds in the field, namely Lovers Causeway and HIGH ON A HILL. The former made all to score over 1m4f here last time but, if adopting the same tactics here, could set up the race for Sylvester Kirk's charge. The latter got every yard of the 2m when scoring at Kempton recently and there looks more to come over today's distance.
