Verdict
HEDONISTA looked a nice staying prospect at Kempton and a 4lb rise looks manageable. The very versatile Black Kalanisi is well handicapped on last season's form and drying ground would put him in the frame. Dragonball Prince has never won but has gone close in recent starts including here last time. Cold Henry stays the trip well but has been looking a few pounds high while Cinnodin needs softer ground than he's likely to get here. The lightly-raced Spritzin' tries the trip for the first time and looks like she may be suited.
