        Verdict

        Kensington gets a narrow vote over Nautical, Raza Cab, Lincolneurocruiser and Blue Knight in an open contest. Kensington has performed with credit on each of his three visits to Wolverhampton, having quickly adapted to this surface, and off his current mark, remains one to keep on the right side of. In receipt of weight from all of his main rivals, the David Evans inmate has leading claims. Nautical was beaten just a neck by Lincolneurocruiser when they met here seven days ago, and now reopposes on a pound better terms, so there should be little between the pair, while Raza Cab made the most of a good handicap mark to just hold on at Lingfield last time and remains fairly treated, so is another to consider. Blue Knight has been coming steadily back to form but seven furlongs will stretch his stamina, and we much prefer the claims of Kensington.
