      Verdict

      Time Square had Standing Strong back in fourth when landing a Class 7 event at Kempton and will find this tougher. Celtic Ava has been winning over shorter trips and previous efforts over 1m2f don't inspire much confidence but Attain remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise for winning over track and trip last time and can figure once again. However, COSMIC HALO (NAP) has slipped back down the handicap and was beaten only a nose here last week. Richard Fahey's mare can race off the same mark today and can go one better.
