        Verdict

        Little Edi has been in good form at Kempton but several novice and maiden winners have more scope handicapping for the first time. That incudes TAFREEJ, who scored at Yarmouth in October and will appreciate this extra furlong. Doncaster winner Tiriac is also upped in distance while Caragio finished fourth in the Horris Hill over track and trip in October. Lord Uhtred won at Kempton in September and Captain Cuddles scored at Salisbury last summer while Hectic and Scholarship drop down in class with the latter representing last year’s winning yard.
