Verdict

Secret Investor sets the standard here and if able to reproduce his second run at Kempton, he would probably win. However, he faded fast at Doncaster last time, which is a concern, as is his ability to act on soft ground given that his best effort and his point-to-point win were on good. Conversely, KING CALVIN may be better suited by a bit of cut and he is taken to build on a promising debut and come good this time. Samburu Shujaa is the other obvious contender and is certainly not ruled out.
  1. King Calvin
