In depth
Verdict
Kingsmaite got first run on the field when landing a handicap over seven furlongs here last time and may find this tougher having been raised 3lbs since and dropping back in trip so the vote goes to Domirati, who is preferred to Cape St Vincent. The selection is unexposed over six furlongs having done most of his racing over the minimum trip but has run well over today's distance previously and may improve fro the return to it now. Blythe Spirit showed little on his first start for new connections last time and is probably best watched at present so a bigger threat may come from If By Chance who has fairly been raised 10lbs for his four-length defeat of Cape St Vincent last time. The runner-up that day has every chance on the revised terms and is another to consider along with Far Note, who has been freshened up by a break since his latest start. The lightly raced Kostar is another worthy of a mention but Domirati holds solid claims returning to six furlongs and gets the vote.
