Verdict
Nicks Not Wonder finished well ahead of Be Fair when scoring over today’s trip at Kempton and has been raised 6lb. Still unexposed, he’ll go close if handling the surface but MUKHA MAGIC landed a course and distance double last March and has slipped back down to a winning mark. Gay Kelleway’s charge is also dropped in class for this and may prove the one to side with. Arabian King has looked high enough in the weights since notching-up a hat-trick of course wins but Mr Carbonator could figure returning to this shorter trip and makes more appeal than Siavash.
