In depth
Verdict
Kahara has shown improved form since being stepped up in trip, winning all three of her starts this term, and Luca Cumani's filly is taken to make it four from four here, getting the vote ahead of Lets Roll and Estate. The last mentioned has won his last two starts in fairly quick succession but he may struggle to complete a hat-trick under a 12lb penalty so looks best watched. Dhehdaah is capable of taking a hand but ideally wants the rain to fall, while Traprain may just be a shade high in the weights at present. Casual Affair is a consistent performer and should be thereabouts again although a bigger threat is likely to come from Chris Thornton's Lets Roll who looks to be coming back into form. Kahara has done nothing wrong this term though and she gets the vote to win again.
