Verdict
Much revolves around whether Kelamon takes his chance here. Mark Usher's colt was entered at Warwick last night, but if he takes his chance here then he will take some beating. Twice a winner in recent times, he carries penalties for that, but he still looks capable of continuing his good run of form on ground he will relish. Impromptu took a Windsor maiden on soft last Saturday and impressed in the process. If Kelamon does not go then she may well be good enough to make a winnnig handicap debut. Poppy's Rose was a bit of a madam when winning at Redcar last time. She has to improve to follow up and with no Seb Sanders this time we will give her a swerve. Makshoof looks best of the others and has won twice over c&d, once on heavy ground, so if you can forgive his latest run he will be involved, but Kelamon holds the key here and if he turns up he can score.
