Verdict
Duke Of Rainford won over the minimum trip at Kempton recently but a 6lb penalty may prove too much of an imposition here. He beat the runner-up BLUEBOK by half-a-length on that occasion but, under today's revised terms, it could be the turn of Milton Bradley's sprinter to get his head in front. Cheveyo has been in better form at Southwell recently but has been well beaten in three previous starts at this track and Francis Albert makes more appeal if rediscovering his best form.
