In depth
Verdict
A poor contest to end proceedings can go the way of Karinga Kream, with Sparklinspirit, Ayuverda and Bedouin Blue others to consider. In truth, none of these should be trusted with the mortgage money, and only a small vote goes to Karinga Kream. Robert Alner's charge was having only his fifth career outing when sixth to Cottingham at Newton Abbot recently, and with minimal improvement, should make a bold bid. Sparklinspirit has been placed a number of times in the past, and was going well enough when falling at the sixth in the race won by Longueville Manor at Uttoxeter. He too has to be considered along with Ayuverda as long as that one handles the ground. Bedouin Blue probably has more scope than most, but has been off since February, so is best watched, and we look to Karinga Kream to bring home the bacon.
