Kimono My House is given the tentative vote to win this tough handicap at the expense of Navene and Libre. The selection bids for a hat-trick after wins at Southwell and Yarmouth for which he is now thirteen pounds higher. He does though come into the race full of confidence and he is improving rapidly so for that reason he is worth staying on the right side of. Navene has been knocking on the door of late and will be looking for it to swing open. He finished second over course and distance on his penultimate run and did the same at Lingfield last time out. He has crept up the weights for his troubles and has to give weight all round here so life will be tough. While Libre did win at Chepstow in July and has run well in defeat since so another worth noting in the betting market, but for the winner we return to Kimono My House.
