Verdict

THE KVILLEKEN was placed yet again when third at Market Rasen but gets another chance racing off the same mark today. Lets Go Dutchess and Fraser Canyon were also placed on their latest outings at Wincanton and Fontwell respectively but both are upped a grade for this while Moulin Rouge’s earlier success at Stratford came in a seller. Shaddaii finished closer last time without threatening the winner and Hija makes more appeal on last month’s third at Newton Abbot.
