In depth
Verdict
KEMSING continued his good progress when scoring by over three lengths over track and trip last time. He's upped a further 7lb but may not have finished improving yet and can confirm running with both Carbutt's Ridge and Granita. Rupert Boy is penalised for winning a maiden handicap over course and distance a week ago but Sea Of Uncertainty finished runner-up in a tougher maiden handicap here last time and makes plenty of appeal in this company.
