In depth
Verdict
This is a trappy handicap in which Abientot, Peopleton Brook and Kempsey are shortlisted and the vote is given to Peopleton Brook. The selection finished behind Abientot last time at Goodwood but he was only narrowly beaten and on these revised terms he is taken to score. Kempsey won well last time at Lingfield and he would be interesting if there is cut in the ground. However, he has a penalty for his recent success and he may find a couple too good tonight. Niteowl Lad beat our selection last time but those placings should be reversed on these revised terms and we will stick with Peopleton Brook who looks the one to beat.
