Verdict
Richard Fahey has had the winner of this in two of the last three years and holds a strong hand again with three runners. Barefoot Baby is improving and Paul Hanagan rides Windsor third Shazzab but it would be no surprise if recent Haydock scorer Amazing Michele proved the pick of the trio. Mahaarat improved for the step up to a mile at Kempton and has more scope than Di Fede and Che Bella. Double Reflection and Show Of Force have both won races and Deadly Reel has ability but DATHANNA has been thriving on soft ground and could complete the hat-trick if handling the extra furlong.
