VOLTURNUS offers the only recent winning form when successful over 2m at Kempton. He should go close again in this lowly company despite a penalty. Kaisan only found one too good over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and can figure along with Kempton runner-up Iley Boy while Dibloam posted his best effort so far when fourth here last time. Netley Abbey is creeping closer having slipped down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
