      Verdict

      This looks wide-open but recent Kempton second Royal Irish Hussar remains without a win since 2013. Dino Velvet won an equally tough heat at Ayr last month before a run on the Flat but a 9lb higher mark is a concern. LETS GO DUTCHESS was in good form here around this time last year. A recent fifth at Wincanton will have blown away the cobwebs and Kevin Bishop’s mare can edge out the in-form Oskar Denarius and December’s Wincanton winner Shadow's Boy. Sporting Boy has an even longer absence to overcome and Here's Herbie keeps coming up short while maiden winner Arian is making his handicap debut.
