A trappy affair in which Monashee Prince is given the tentative vote ahead of Moyoko and Rowan Warning. The selection does find winning difficult and while we can never be too confident about a horse with so many near-misses, his style of running could suit this mile at Kempton and a chance is taken at the likely odds. Moyoko has accounted for Rowan Warning in handicaps over this trip in the past. Laura Reynolds got in all sorts of trouble last time out as she got blocked and barged at every turn but connections have kept the faith in her on this occasion. Seb Sanders has scored previously aboard Takitwo so the market is watched about Peter Cundell's returnee. They All Laughed has ability although is badly out of form of late. Mystical Charm is exposed as modest but can be expected to run her usual race. Seven furlong specialist, Goose Chase is yet to convince over a mile. Monashee Prince looks the speculative call in a moderate race.
