        Verdict

        KENDRED SOUL made all at Beverley last month with Balancing Act and Manolith behind and is 6lb higher today. But the form looks solid enough with the latter subsequently going close on soft ground at Hamilton and Jedd O’Keeffe’s filly is worth sticking with. Giovanni Tiepolo won a lower grade sprint at Windsor and has been raised 5lb while Araifjan could figure back in a handicap today but Music Therapist seems best over 6f. Joint top-weight Birkenhead is not without a chance on form but a high draw is off-putting.
