Verdict
SIMPLY SONDHEIM returned to winning ways on his reappearance with a victory at Kempton. He’s clearly not finished improving yet and a 3lb rise is unlikely to anchor him in this. Civil Law has a shout in this grade and finished in front of Court Of Session at Wolverhampton earlier while both Haunted Dream and City Streak return to action and are not out of this if at their best.
