In depth

Verdict

DUTCH KINGDOM was caught on the line on his debut at Chelmsford in October then stayed on over 7f at Kempton last month so looks the one to beat. Burdett Road had been narrowly beaten twice over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton before finding 1m4f too far at Kempton. Hello Arthur was surprisingly dropped to 6f at Kempton after staying on over 7f there earlier while Oneshot has been beaten a long way in both starts. Puntarelle showed promise on Turf last summer and returned from a long break to run very well over 7f here last month where she still looked green.
