In depth
Verdict
Few make any appeal but the veteran CARVELAS found only one too good over course and distance in one of these events last time and gets another chance. Flying Focus went close over 1m2f at Kempton on his first outing for new connections while Kaisan will be sharper for a recent return from a lengthy absence and has won over track and trip in the past. Life Knowledge was still well beaten when second at Southwell while Marshall Aid and Aleatoric have plenty to find with the selection.
