Kensington Oval, Pragmatism and Andaman Sunset are the three against the field here with Kensington Oval taken to make a winning debut. Pragamatism was a staying on third on his debut at Brighton and will appreciate this extra furlong. There are some interesting newcomers here though and a place may be the best he can hope for. Andaman Sunset was also staying on well last time over seven furlongs and although seemingly exposed, may be capable of better over this longer trip. Kensington Oval is very well bred, being by Sadlers Wells out of a useful mare. He will appreciate the cut in the ground and hails from a yard in form. Kensington Oval can make a winning bow.
