Verdict
My Dubawi has been raised 5lb for winning at Kempton in October while Essencial won a lower grade contest at Lingfield more recently and is 3lb higher. Kennet returned a disappointing favourite at Chelmsford while American Kestrel failed to show any progress on her handicap debut and POET is preferred. The latter ran free from off the pace at Kempton last time before staying on for fourth and may settle better today fitted with a hood for the first time.
