In depth
Verdict
KEPLER'S LAW is hard to oppose and will start a short-price here. He landed his hat-trick over C&D last week when eased down for a three length victory and and should make light of a 6lb penalty. Twice a winner over C&D, Alternative Choice looks next best back on the Polytrack, as it's difficult to make a serious case for any of the remaining trio. Ocean's Dream Day looks no nearer to losing his maiden tag and Drawback and Motarjm both finished last on their latest outings.
