Verdict
Maiden winner Striking Echo was tailed off on his handicap bow at Leicester but Order Of Service made a winning handicap debut at Kempton. The latter should be in the mix again along with the frustrating Green Special, who has been placed in all five starts now after another second on the Polytrack last week. Posh Boy has scope for improvement on his return but today's extra furlong may bring out the best in KOHLAAN. Roger Varian's charge finished fourth behind Theodore Gericault over 7f at Lingfield last month but that form looks better in hindsight as the latter has won a handicap since.
