Verdict
Nothing in Red Kite’s pedigree suggests he’ll stay this far though he has been thereabouts in both starts over a mile so far. But MAKINMEDOIT is out of a winner over today’s trip and finished well clear of the rest when runner-up at Lingfield last time. She gets the vote with a tongue-tie likely to bring further progress. The newcomer Susanbequick is a half-sister to a winner over 1m2f on the all-weather.
