Verdict
ZHUI FENG has been competing in handicaps over 6f lately but scored over today’s trip at Kempton earlier in the year. He edges this at the weights ahead of Right Action and gets the nod. The latter also drops down in class having failed to win since last summer while Doc Sportello has been winning lower grade plating races on the all-weather this year but over shorter trips. The remainder have plenty to find on these terms including Bombastic.
