Verdict
Heavy going may have been a legitimate excuse for Karisoke failing to land the odds at Leicester last month while Loving Glance looked a non-stayer when sent off favourite over a longer trip here last time. Reims looked to have no excuse for finishing last of four at Chelmsford and returns to 7f while Al Daiha was still beaten a long way when third at Kempton. Alvaro was another disappointment when sent off odds-on at Lingfield so a speculative vote goes to PROMPTING to improve on last month’s debut third at Kempton.
