In depth
Verdict
UNSUNG HERO landed a double at Kempton in September when making all on both occasions. He’s 9lb higher on his return but needed only to be pushed out to score last time and this isn’t a strong race. Visibility scored over track and trip before finding one too good over further while Bare Necessity has won a novices race here and steps up in distance for her handicap debut. Thapa VC finished in front of Poetic Force at the track and may prove best of the rest in first-time cheekpieces.
