A competitive handicap with several worthy of consideration. Pactolus has been thereabouts lately and should go close again. He finished in front of Rainbow Rebel when runner-up at Chelmsford last time but SENIORITYmay just edge this. The Haggas charge made another bold bid off today’s mark at Kempton recently having won at the same track before that. Bronze Angel was placed in this grade at Leicester last month but is best over shorter trips and though Roll On Rory scored over a mile at Newmarket recently he has yet to race over this far. Mount Tahan is another with something to prove over the distance but Mythical Madness has a shout back at this venue and new stablemate Primero won twice on the all-weather at Cagnes earlier this year.
