Having made all to gain a breakthrough victory at Southwell in January, Mdawi must enter the reckoning on his handicap bow. The Wootton Bassett colt should prove as effective debuting on turf, but KINGMAKER rates the most solid proposition. Andrew Balding's inmate has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings in handicap company and compensation could be on the cards. Kentucky River is also worth a second look in first-time cheekpieces. |
KENTUCKY RIVER has a good opportunity to open his account in a small but tight affair. Ollie Sangster's gelding was beaten around three lengths last time when upped to 1m6f with his efort petering out late. The drop back to 1m4f will help (his best effort to date was over 1m3f) and the assessor has dropped him a further 2lb. He should go close. Is I Right, the most experienced in the field along with West Tyrone, is a big danger having already won over course and distance (off 6lb lower) and looks pretty versatile ground-wise so should cope with any changes in conditions. He has to show more than last time when failing to beat a rival in a small field event at Newmarket (beaten just over 4l) but his three runs here are a cut above the rest of his form and he can be expected to lay down a stiff challenge. Kingmaker has knocked on the door the last twice stepped up to around this trip and should be in the shake-up again despite a small rise for the latest defeat |
