Verdict
Kennington is given the vote in a wide open finale to the day's racing, with La Vie Est Belle and Time N Time Again also put forward for the shortlist. The selection is from a yard in form and if the rain arrives then her chance will be enhanced as she does like plenty of cut in the ground. She is running right up to her best and as she is equally at home at today's trip or over 6f then she is in with a great chance of making the frame. However, there are a plethora of dangers led by La Vie Est Belle. This filly ran well last time when second behind Mecca's Mate at Musselburgh. That was over 5f and as she is probably better over further we are happy to take her on. Time N Time Again is a consistent type and he is in decent form, but he is another that may be better over slightly further these days. Joyce's Choice is on a handy mark and is always dangerous to dismiss in these type of events, but she has it all to do from stall 18. A number of others would have claims on the pick of their form, but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum, for the winner we return to Kennington as our tentative choice.
