Verdict
Kendergarten Kop landed a course double with last week’s success but has done all his winning over further so far while Chelmsford winner Lets Go Lucky has recorded all four wins over 7f. Aweemaweh also won over 7f here in April though hasn’t figured in a couple of subsequent starts and it could pay to stick with SECRET POTION. The latter scored at Bath recently and Tyler Heard’s allowance negates a rise in the weights.
