Verdict
Not a race to get too heavily involved in with a wide range of jockeyship on view but Kylkenny comes into the race in excellent heart and may be able to continue the good fortune of his stable at present. Hugh Morrison's gelding has finished in the front two on all but one of his last seven starts and ran well in defeat when narrowly denied over the course and distance last time. Still well treated compared to his winning all-weather mark, he will surely go close in a race in which few can be seriously fancied. Lazzaz is consistent but has struggled to get his head in front and remains a maiden while Dash Of Magic needs to improve on what she has shown to date and Chickasaw Trail continues to frustrate.
