None of these can be easily dismissed. Kinshasa took the step up in trip in his stride to score over 1m4f at Salisbury last time. But WRANGLER won a higher grade handicap at Haydock on his latest start and is just preferred. Miner's Lamp faced a tough task in a Group 2 at Ascot last month and the Newmarket winner will be more at home in this company while Maid In Rio rattled up a hat-trick with a victory at headquarters last month when Battersea finished a close -up second. Good Value has taken another hike in the weights despite finding one too good again at Kempton and Nabatean is preferred on his handicap debut.
