Verdict
KETTLE HILL was having his first outing since April when beaten only a head at York by Garden Oasis with Safran back in fourth. He’ll be sharper for that and can turn the tables with the Haggas yard in flying form. Copper And Five won a lower grade contest over track and trip last month but Poet's Dawn went close at this level at Haydock on his penultimate start. Enigmatic found only one too good under today’s apprentice at Sandown recently while Rains Of Castamere showed further progress when successful at Haydock and is only 4lb higher.
