This won’t take much winning and KENSTONE is probably the one to beat having got off the mark last time at Wolverhampton. He’s improved a little lately and Hollie Doyle again takes off 5lb. Frap is back on a winning mark and his trainer has a good strike-rate here. Pearly Queen has shown signs of promise on Polytrack and could go well at a price. Humour and Shahaama may be the pick of the remainder but that’s not saying much.
