        Verdict

        Tephi has every chance at Kempton yesterday but Michaela's Boy has been raised 8lb for winning at Newcastle and Grace Angel has a 10lb hike to contend with having scored at Southwell. Royal Mariner and Omniqueen are less exposed and could figure but the same comment also applies to DIOMED SPIRIT, who was beaten less than a length at Lingfield on his handicap debut - Stuart Williams’ yard is in good form.
