Verdict
KIMBALI was beaten a head in a claimer over course and distance last month but this isn't much tougher. He can confirm running with Golden Desert and can go one better. Victorian Number is 5lb higher than when landing the latest of this year's three wins while Athletic has reverted to his earlier modest efforts having popped-up at 20/1 back in August. A Newmarket maiden winner, Winter Song is lightly-raced and may figure while the likes of West Leake and Shifting Star have been known to win at this level when the mood takes them.
