Verdict
GIANTSTEPSAHEAD is upped 3lb for winning over today's trip at Kempton last time but this looks no tougher and he can go in again. Gabrial The Duke still looks in the handicappers grip but will appreciate the return to 1m4f while Camakasi's only win to date came over a mile. Dakota City and Tower Power were successful in lower grade handicaps last time and have both been raised 4lb while Alshan Fajer's earlier course double came in lowly Class 6 contests and he remains 8lb higher for this.
