Verdict

Rochford won a classified race at Kempton before finishing behind third-placed New Look at the same track. Blue Whisper beat Windsorlot when scoring over track and trip last month though both have failed to figure since while KODI KOH never recovered from a tardy start over a longer trip here last time. But she found only one too good over course and distance before that and it could be her turn again today. The British Lion has been in better form at Southwell and may prove best of the rest.
