Verdict
KYNSA went close over a longer trip at Sandown last month but had also placed on heavy going earlier and gets the vote to open her account. Both Darvel and Roundabout Silver placed at Bath recently and the latter won at the same track in August while Khangai drops down in distance with a shout. Astronomica has won twice on soft ground so far this year including over track and trip and is another to consider.
