    Verdict

    Again another pityful turnout but nonetheless a potential winner exists and Given A Choice is the likeliest victor with Hucking Heat the danger. It is difficult to see beyond James Givens' charge although he was turned over at short odds last time. The 1M 3F distance is likely to suit around Kempton, the selections best form having been in excess of 1M around the stiffer Wolverhampton. The race is likely to be a tactical affair but Given A Choice should prove too good. Hucking Heat lacked a turn of foot here last week in a claimer and appears more at home over 8F. He should prove the main danger to our choice, that being Given A Choice.
