In depth
Verdict
Keep Moving was a course and distance winner last season off a 3lb higher mark. He hasn’t quite matched that effort this term but usually runs his race and will be hard to keep out of the frame today. DEFINITE DILEMMA is 0-6 under Rules but the winning pointer has been knocking on the door over slightly shorter trips at Fontwell recently and he’s due a win. Newbury fourth Kauto The King is starting to slip down the ratings and Mine's A Pint has gone well here in the past but Presence Of Mind fell at the first on his chasing bow at Hereford.
