      Verdict

      Herons Nest found one too good yet again when sent off favourite at Kempton though had earlier finished ahead of both Bell Heather and EPIC CHALLENGE over course and distance. The latter was having only his third outing for new connections and first start since October on that occasion, however, so should be sharper today and gets a speculative vote. Soyounique returned a losing favourite over 7f at Lingfield recently and Pope Gregory’s earlier double came at Chelmsford. Don't Jump George finished runner-up here when last on the Flat though that was in a maiden.
