Verdict
Kinsya has conditions to suit and can account for Nevada Desert, Surwaki and Primo Way to name but three potential dangers. The going is good at present, and as long as it does not dry out too much, then Kinsya should prove hard to beat, the form of his Newmarket victory having worked out well. The third home, Demon Docker, went on to score at Leicester recently, and so, off just a 5lb higher mark, the Mark Tompkins inmate looks very well treated indeed. Still only three, he has the scope to develop into a tough performer given his optimum conditions. Recent Haydock winner Nevada Desert will not mind the ground either, and gets a bit of weight off the selection so rates a threat, while Surwaki displayed battling qualities when opening his account at Leicester and is not badly handicapped for this step up in class. Primo Way is a course-and-distance scorer, and trainer Ian Semple is always to be feared at the Scottish track. All in all, this appears quite competitive, with Kinsya taken to score.
