        Verdict

        Kick On Kick On could be interesting back on Turf as he slips further down the handicap. Bob Cowell’s expertise with sprinters is legendary and he managed to improve GRANDFATHER TOM last year. The five-year-old may have just need the run at Kempton at the start of the month and is a leading candidate in this. Abel Handy is well treated on past form and has been edging closer to a return to the winner’s enclosure but this may be a step too far for Ayr winner National Anthem under a penalty. Restless Rose is back in the right grade but probably better over 6f on Turf.
