    Verdict

    MASSAM made all and only had to be pushed out to land a decent nursery over this trip at Newcastle earlier this month. He’s only been raised 6lb for that and it’s difficult to see any of his three rivals here getting close. Kempton second Molly Mai may be the one to chase home the top weight if she lasts home over the extra furlong as Lethal Guest doesn’t appear to be progressing. Whenapoet is probably too high in the weights judged on his runs to date.
