Verdict

Capote's Dream arrived at Tom Ward's yard from Ireland and completed a double over this trip at Kempton. He's up 4lb in this better race but should have more improvement in him. EDRAAK (NAP) landed a Chelmsford handicap at this level before a fine run when stepped up to a Newcastle Class 2 handicap. He's 8lb lower back on Turf and has Oisin Murphy is the saddle so looks the one to beat. Beyond Equal very nearly made it six career wins at Kempton in November but hasn't run subsequently and may just need the outing but Bimble, another with a long absence to overcome, won first time back on fast ground at Goodwood last June so looks a real threat, especially as her only poor run came on heavy going.
