In depth
Verdict
Kingsdon, Sovietta and Newtonian are the three to concentrate on here and we will side with the last named. The selection returned to form with an excellent second to Killkenny over the mile and three furlong trip here last month. He is relatively lightly raced for his age and there could be more improvement to come. Kingsdon would be well capable of beating these on the turf, he may not be the same horse on the all-weather but should still be capable of reaching the frame. Sovietta is making her all-weather debut but landed a Leicester claimer back in October and should go close for her very astute trainer. Warbreck, trained by Charlie Egerton, is another interesting runner off this mark, however we expect more to from Newtonian and this one gets the verdict.
