In depth
Verdict
Kroy was beaten only a head over track and trip last time but Skyva was only a neck behind in fourth and that pair are hard to separate. DUKE COSIMO was runner-up here before going one better at Kempton and he gets the nod to go in again effectively racing off a lower mark with an apprentice's allowance taken into account. Black Hambleton has been thereabouts without threatening here recently but Insurplus was still beaten a long way when runner-up at the track on his penultimate start.
