Verdict

Only beaten two lengths when third at Southwell on Tuesday, Kinkeel's chance is obvious off a 6lb lower mark. Duke Of Malfi is a rare runner here for Lucinda Russell and couldn't be discounted but Wiesenfurst has shown very little since scoring at Fontwell last May and Copper Sound is proving a big disappointment. The vote, therefore, goes to ORGANIZ who had Kinkeel well behind at Leicester on his latest start and would probably have finished closer that day had he not been hampered by a loose horse. Suprendre Espere and The Walnut Tree are both out of the handicap and hard to fancy, even in this lowly grade.
